American String Quartet with Nancy Allen

The American String Quartet offers a collaboration together with the New York Philharmonic’s Principal Harpist, Nancy Allen. The five perform some of the great works for string quartet and harp:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Adagio and Rondo, K. 617
Ludwig van Beethoven: Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 74, "Harp"
Marcel Tournier: Féerie: Prelude et Danse
****
Claude Debussy: Danse sacrée et danse profane
Claude Debussy: String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10

Hailed by The New York Times as "a major artist" following her New York recital debut, Nancy Allen joined the New York Philharmonic in June of 1999 as Principal Harpist. She maintains a busy international concert schedule as well as heading the harp departments of The Juilliard School, Yale School of Music, and the Aspen Music Festival and School.
