Art of Élan's ensemble-in-residence, the Formosa Quartet
Demarre McGill and Kate Hatmaker
About Art of Élan
For the past 8 years, Art of Élan has been pioneering unique
events and bringing the excitement of classical music to diverse
audiences. Created by violinist Kate Hatmaker and flutist Demarre
McGill, Art of Élan continually expands the scope of classical music in
San Diego through its innovative, one-hour programming in unique
performance venues. By drawing inspiration from the word élan,
which represents momentum, vigor and spirit, and providing an
opportunity to connect directly with concertgoers, Art of Élan continues
to engage and energize audiences in new ways.
On March 29th at The San Diego Museum of Art the Formosa Quartet
premieres Lei Liang's "Song Recollections," the much-anticipated string
quartet that Art of Élan commissioned with national support from Chamber Music America and the Koussevitzky Foundation.
This is the second year of the Formosa Quartet's residency with Art of
Élan, which has included performance and commissioning opportunities, as
well as recording support. In addition to "Song Recollections," the
March 29th program features "Hungarian Folk Songs," also written for the
Formosa Quartet by American composer Dana Wilson, as well as
"Threnodies I and II" for flute, violin, viola and cello by Aaron Copland.
