The Bellevue String Quartet is raising money to fund our first CD Recording of our For Four program, including Hanna Blomberg's "For Four" which we commissioned in 2024.

J.S. Bach was by no means the first (or last) composer to write music for four voices with his monumental Art of Fugue. Immersing ourselves in the rich and complex sound-world of 17th century composers such as Purcell and Locke sheds a whole new light on Bach's monumental work, revealing the Fugue to be so much more than just a compositional exercise.

In this kaleidoscopic program we make a journey from Bach's predecessors to composers of today who have been influenced by his music. It's also a journey from solitude to community, full of lively conversations, colorful dissonances, and moments of both quiet reflection and unbridled joy along the way.

Music of J.S. Bach, Purcell, Locke, Byrd, Schop, Morley, Guido Morini and Hanna Blomberg

The funds will be used to cover some of the costs of the recording engineer's fee, church rental and other production expenses.

Here is a trailer of the program, recorded live at Trigonale Festival:
