   Leontovych String Quartet at Candlelight Concert Series

The Leontovych String Quartet will perform music of Schubert, Borodin and
Shostakovich at the Old Ship Candlelight Concert on Sunday January 17 at
4:00 p.m.  Part of a continuing series at the Old Ship Meeting House, 90
Main Street, Hingham, admission is free of charge.

The Leontovych String Quartet is comprised of Yuri Mazurkevich, violin;
Yuri Kharenko, violin; Boris Deviatov, viola; and Vladimir Panteleyev,
cello.  Educated and organized in Russia they are now New York based.

Their program includes a performance of Schubert's, "String Quartet in
D Minor" popularly titled "Death and the Maiden" which was completed
following many months work in 1817 shortly after his 18th birthday.
Borodin's "String Quartet #2 in D Major" is one of a dozen similar works
composed by a man, perhaps more famous for orchestral compositions.  "The
Quartet in F Sharp Minor, Op. 108 NO.  7" by Shostakovich, a Russian who
suffered at the hands of Soviet era artistic criticism, is one of his many
compositions being revived and appreciated following restoration of
freedoms in that country.

This concert is sponsored by the music committee of Old Ship Church and
funded in part by voluntary donations from its audience and a grant from
the Hingham Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts
Cultural Council.  Further information is available at (781) 749-3259.
