With all four members only in their twenties, the Paris-based Arod Quartet has already dazzled awestruck chamber-music lovers in concerts at such prestigious venues as the Auditorium of the Louvre in Paris and the Verbier Festival in Switzerland. The Arod quickly skyrocketed to international attention when they won the coveted First Prize of the 2016 ARD International Music Competition in Munich, having already taken First Prize at the Carl Nielsen Chamber Music Competition in Copenhagen. In April 2019 the Quartet undertook its American debut tour, which featured its inaugural Carnegie Hall performance—one of the only European chamber ensembles ever to make its Carnegie Hall debut on its first trip to the United States. This will be the Arod Quartet’s first performance at SBMA.

They will perform Mozart’s String Quartet No. 19 in C Major, K 465 “Dissonance”, Bartók’s String Quartet No. 1 in A minor, No. 1, and Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major.

On Wednesday, March 23 at 7:00pm, 350 Santa Barbara will host an online community conversation about transitioning our regional energy system away from gas to clean energy.

Watching birds: not only fun, but good for you!

Learn why getting your daily dose of Ornitherapy is just what the doctor ordered…. Ornitherapy leads to a more mindful approach to the observation of birds, benefits our mind, body, and soul. We’re pushed and pulled in many directions, no matter our age. If we allow birds and nature to slow us down, we are practicing a form of “selfcare”. Research shows that exposure to nature actively reduces stress, depression, and anxiety, while helping build a stronger heart and immune system.
