The DaPonte String Quartet presents its February concert series, “Winter Light,” with a string trio version of the monumental “Goldberg Variations” by Johann Sebastian Bach. 

 

The group’s realization for string trio is based on two separate trio arrangements by Dmitry Sitkovetsky and Annette Bartholdy, then further modified by the quartet’s members to remain as faithful as possible to Bach’s keyboard original.

 

Some of these performances are given in conjunction with local restaurants, offering prix-fixe menus to ticket-holders.  

 

Dates/locations: Sunday, Feb.12, St. Paul’s Chapel, Waldoboro  - 5 p.m.; Tuesday, Feb. 14, Robinhood Meeting House, Georgetown - 7:30 p.m. (dinner available); Wednesday, Feb. 15, Lemont Block Collective, Brunswick - 7:30 p.m. (dinner available); Thursday, Feb. 16, Maine Jewish Museum, Portland - 7 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 17, Union Hall, Rockport - 7:30 p.m. (dinner available); Feb. 18, First Baptist Church, Freeport - 3 p.m.
