from Les Roka’s article at The Utah Review:
A prime reason why the NOVA Chamber Music Series consistently excels in its unique programming brand is demonstrating how the deep bench of world-class musical talent in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah can tackle just about any curveball a composer could conceive of throwing their way.
For NOVA’s 46th season, the Fry Street Quartet, whose members serve collectively as the music directors for the series, has put more than a few exclamation marks on the art of curating dynamic musical personalities for programming concerts. “There are so many phenomenal musicians in Utah,” Anne Francis Bayless, Fry Street Quartet’s cellist, says. “This season’s repertoire is definitely personality driven and there are plenty of pieces that are excellent fits for the musicians who will be performing them.”
