The Marian Anderson String Quartet will be the featured artists for the Plass Music Series at Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church Sunday, April 3 at 2 p.m.
Members Marianne Henry, Diedra Lawrence, Nicole Cherry and Prudence McDaniel will be playing spirituals, including “My Lord What a Mornin,” and excerpts from Antonin Dvorak’s String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Opus 96. In 1991, the Bryan-based group won the International Cleveland Quartet Competition, becoming the first African American ensemble in history to win a classical music competition.
With a strong belief in education, they have since performed in venues ranging from Washington,
D.C.’s Kennedy Center to soup kitchens. The program is free and open to the
public.
