The concert will showcase Sergei Prokofiev'\;s String Quartet No. 1 in B minor\, Op. 50 and Franz Schubert'\;s String Quintet in C major\, D. 956\, Op. posth. 163.
\n\n\;
\n\nThe Common Music Collective\, an exciting new artist&rsquo\;s cooperative based in Western Massachusetts\, was born out of a group of friends&rsquo\; desire to share their passion for exploring and performing all kinds of music with their communities. The Collective'\;s artists are socially-minded musicians and teachers with diverse artistic and performance backgrounds. In an age where attendance at live music\, art\, theater\, and dance seems to be ever-declining\, the Collective&rsquo\;s goal is to reverse this trend by increasing the dialogue between artists of all kinds and their audience members\, through engaging multi-genre\, multimedia performances\, as well as social and educational outreach. They hope to broaden the scope of what live performance can be\, in the local community and beyond.
\n\n\;
\n\nFounded in 1986\, the Northampton Community Music Center is a not-for-profit arts organization whose mission is to foster the love and pursuit of music within our community through quality education\, performances\, and events that are accessible to all.
