Harlem Quartet advances diversity in classical music while engaging new audiences with varied repertoire that includes works by minority composers. Their mission to share their passion with a wider audience has taken them around the world; from a 2009 performance at The White House for President Obama and First Lady, Michelle Obama, to a highly successful tour of South Africa in 2012, and numerous venues in between. The musically versatile ensemble has performed with such distinguished performers as Itzhak Perlman, Ida Kavafian, Carter Brey, Fred Sherry, Misha Dicter, Jeremy Denk, and Paquito D’Rivera. Their most recent recording, Hot House, with jazz master Chick Corea and percussionist Gary Burton was a 2013 multi-Grammy Award winner.

SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Mel. Cook
Featuring Leslie Castay as Princess Kosmonopolis and Martin Bradford as Chance Wayne
Presented in partnership with the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival
Southern Rep Theatre is in residence at the Loyola University Department of Theatre Arts.
Melting in the heat of the Deep South, a dwindling star is swept up in a race against time. Fueled by booze, pills, and entitlement Alexandra del Lago (Leslie Castay) places herself in the care of Chance Wayne, an ambitious gigolo with less than a heart of gold and a drama of his own unfolding.
