S25-28 Music Haven Rehearsal
Class | Registration opens 3/3/2025 9:00 AM
Come experience a behind-the-scenes open rehearsal for Music Haven's Haven String Quartet & Resident Pianist Jacob Wang’s March Chamber Series concert, Music in Motion. The concert features a diverse and powerful program that spans centuries, including Haydn’s playful and exciting Rider Quartet, Gideon Klein’s haunting piano Sonata No.1, written during his time in a concentration camp, and Steve Reich’s Different Trains, a reflection on the composer’s travels as a child across the country against the backdrop of World War II.

The Haven String Quartet embodies a different way to be a professional string quartet – one that is grounded in the Music Haven community. Music Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing free individual music lessons, mentoring, group classes, ensemble and leadership development opportunities, and a safe, supportive place to play to young people (ages 6-18) in New Haven.
The Haven String Quartet (HSQ) members divide their time between the rigorous performance calendar of the string quartet and the demands of a full teaching schedule. In the mornings, they rehearse as a quartet. In the afternoons, each of the quartet members teaches a studio of 15-20 Music Haven students, including one-on-one lessons, weekly studio classes, coaching student ensembles, and mentoring the young musicians in their studios.
