Join Faculty Fellows Dr Mauro Calcagno and Dr Jamuna Samuel, in seeing the Daedalus Quartet at Penn Live Arts! (The Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104)

Sunday, January 21st | 2:00PM

The "insightful and vibrant" (The New York Times) Daedalus Quartet returns to our stage with Bartok’s Monster, a collaboration with Dan Rothenberg, Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Director of Pig Iron Theatre Company, and Sebastienne Mundheim, Founder/Artistic Director of White Box Theatre. A musical investigation into a missing string quartet, this world premiere program by Penn’s exceptional quartet-in-residence takes inspiration from Penn English professor Jay Kirk’s Avoid the Day: A New Nonfiction in 2 Movements, a book Gideon Lewis-Kraus described as "a vividly funny Gothic picaresque...and a dark, self-consuming act of memoiristic alchemy."
