Acclaimed as one of America’s outstanding ensembles, the Manhattan-based Cassatt Quartet has performed throughout North America, Europe and the Far East, with appearances at New York’s Alice Tully Hall and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Tanglewood Music Theater, the Kennedy Center and Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the Theatre des Champs-Élysées in Paris and Maeda Hall in Tokyo.
Formed in 1985, the ensemble is named after celebrated American impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. The New York Times has described the group’s playing as “impressively rich and passionate.”
The Jamesport Meeting House, built by Puritan settlers in 1731 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in the hamlet of Jamesport at the corner of Main Road and Manor Lane.
