New Quick piece to debut

Cleveland area composer Jeffrey Quick's new String Quartet in A will debut in a free show at 8 p.m. Sunday Nov. 18th at St. Paul's Episcopal Church at Coventry and Fairhill in Cleveland, Quick announces in his music blog (he has launched a separate blog for political musings.) New Sounds Outpost, a site devoted to the Cleveland new music scene, explains that the Cleveland Chamber Collective also will do work by four other Cleveland-area composers, viz. Loris Chobanian, Stephen Griebling, Robert Rollin and Katherine Louise O'Connell.

I haven't heard the new Quick, but after hearing some of his other works I harbor the dark suspicion that it will prove to be unfashionably melodic. I'm also worried I won't get to hear it, as I'm already committed to go out of town the weekend after next.
