Don't miss Newport String Quartet virtually from Fort Adams on Sunday

The Newport String Project has recently launched a new series, Hidden Newport, showcasing some of Newport’s most beautiful and unusual locations through virtual chamber music concerts.

Their first performance, premiering on January 17th at 2 pm on YouTube, was filmed at Fort Adams and features music by Haydn, Komitas, and Walker. 

Hidden Newport aims to make the music-making of the Newport String Quartet accessible from the comfort and safety of home, and give their supporters the opportunity to share the music with loved ones, near and far.
