Weekend concerts reviewed


My reviews for the Richmond Times-Dispatch of programs exploring Latin-American music by the Richmond Symphony at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland and the Sphinx Virtuosi and Catalyst Quartet at the University of Richmond’s Modlin Arts Center, and of the Parker Quartet with violist Kim Kashkashian, performing in Virginia Commonwealth University’s Rennolds Chamber Concerts series:

CORRECTION (Oct. 18): The Catalyst Quartet’s management sends word that the ensemble’s first violinist, featured in Villa-Lobos’ “Bachianas brasileiras” No. 5, was Suliman Tekalli. The print review credits a former member, who was listed in the Modlin Center brochure.
