Listen "Violins, Corpses, and Candles: PubicQuartet and Death of Classical"
Episode Synopsis
Like many smaller classical music ensembles, the celebrated PubliQuartet found ways to keep going during the shutdown - largely by performing outdoors in some very unorthodox settings. One of these was the catacombs of The Green-Wood Cemetery, one of the venues where Death of Classical has been presenting eclectic performances since early 2020. What’s it like to perform during a pandemic in a space where you’re literally surrounded by the dead? Remarkably transcendent, it turns out.
