The BBCM Quartet, an award-winning young string quartet from Tulsa, will perform as part of the Summerstage Festival tomorrow night, Friday, July 18, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. in the Charles Norman Theater of the Tulsa PAC. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students, $8 for 12 and under.
The quartet -- Joseph Bates and Nicholas Bashforth on violin, Anthony Conroy on cello, Quinn Maher on viola -- will present a variety of genres, including classical chamber music and movie themes.
The program includes:
- "Hedwig's Theme" (Harry Potter), John Williams (arr. Cameron Patrick)
- What Wondrous Love is This?, traditional (arr. Dana Fitzgerald Maher)
- Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525, Mozart
- String Quartet No. 1, Andante cantabile, Tchaikovsky

- String Quartet "Lobkowitz", Op. 77, No. 1, Haydn
The four study music at Barthelmes Conservatory under instructors John Rush, Sheri Neubauer, and Krassimira Figg.
The BBCM Quartet won first place in the 2014 Tulsa Young Chamber Artist Competition (sponsored by Tulsa Camerata and Chamber Music Tulsa) and finished second in the Buttram String Quartet competition sponsored by the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. All four members of the group are in the Tulsa Youth Symphony and were at Quartz Mountain last month as part of the 2014 Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute orchestra.
Here's their appearance on Fox 23's Tulsa Live this morning. The sound is a little unbalanced because of the use of lapel mics rather than standard instrument pickups.

Really enjoyed this performance!
Anthony's facial expressions were priceless and made the show even better. Of course he has the advantage of chin/shoulder freedom.
I noticed that Quinn worked in a smile every now and then while he was playing, too. But the poor kid needs to put some effort into improving his future comebacks if the other guys intend to keep teasing him so mercilessly. :)
$13 and 90 minutes very well spent...
Glad you could be there, Paul! Sorry to have missed you.
There is a rich vein of viola jokes with a long history.
