The Arkansas State University-Beebe department of music will present a concert by the Colere Saxophone Quartet at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28 in the Science Building Lecture Hall on the Beebe campus, located at 300 Peach Street. The concert is free and open to the public.
The Colere Quartet is comprised of John Cummins, Elissa Kana, Greg Rife and Dennis Kwok. Gold medalists of the 2020 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and first-prize winners of the 2019 Plowman Chamber Music Competition, the members of Colere strive for purity of sound and flexibility of style, and they awaken the sensibilities of their audiences to the magic of classical and contemporary music.
Recent activity includes an appearance on 98.7 WFMT Chicago, recitals at the Illinois Music Education Conference, VanderCook College of Music, University of Northern Iowa and Lewis University, as well as appearances at a variety of community and educational concerts.
