Festival Fridays
A Star-Studded Festival Friday
June 13 | Sarasota Opera House
An all-star lineup of faculty artists joins over 20 Festival fellows for a spectacular program. The Miró Quartet ignites the evening with Ginastera’s rhythmic, surreal String Quartet No. 1. Flutist Jasmine Choi leads Strauss’ vibrant Suite for 13 Winds, and Schubert’s haunting Death and the Maiden, in Mahler’s rarely heard arrangement for string orchestra, featuring new faculty artist and Festival alum Sandy Yamamoto.

“Throughout, the Miró Quartet played with explosive vigor and technical finesse.”
