Please join us for an inventive and dynamic evening of string quartet music with “Aryaloka String Quartet,” highlighting four of Boston’s finest string players. The Aryaloka String Quartet of Boston was formed in the mid-2000’s by long-time colleagues and friends Beth Welty and Mark Latham, violins; Noralee Walker, viola and Sandi-Jo Malmon, cello. Aryaloka is a Sanskrit word which is roughly understood as “in the presence of the noble ones.” Thus playing the music of the great composers, from Haydn to the present, the quartet and the audience are indeed “in the presence of the noble ones.” They are dedicated to bringing the communal experience of chamber music to the wider world, in both smaller, unexpected venues as well as traditional concert halls. They especially enjoy crafting programs of classic string quartet literature while championing lesser known, neglected, or forgotten composers.
