VANGUARD LEGACY CONCERT SERIES CONTINUES MARCH 11
Recent research suggests that music really is a universal language. The members of the St. Petersburg Piano Quartet — who will perform at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 11, at the University of Dayton’s Sears Recital Hall — would probably agree. Each comes from a very different background and culture, but together they play music that speaks to them all. The quartet will appear at the University of Dayton as part of the Vanguard Legacy program, presented by ArtsLIVE. The Legacy concerts extend the heritage of a beloved chamber music series established in 1962 by Elana and Vincent Bolling at the Dayton Art Institute. Since 2015, Vanguard Legacy Concerts have made their home at the University, thanks to an endowment from the Bollings. More information is available on the ArtsLIVE website.
