About Liverpool String Quartet

Liverpool String Quartet dive headfirst into all things USA with works by Philip Glass, Reich, Barber and Gershwin.

Inspired by Steve Reich’s 90th birthday, Liverpool String Quartet dive headfirst into all things USA. From the cinematic Mishima by Philip Glass, through Reich’s New York Counterpoint and Barber’s iconic String Quartet – featuring the breathtaking Adagio – they’ll finish this journey through 20th-century America with an exciting new arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
