THE WEST VILLAGE QUARTET UNDERGROUND
f you're a classical music lover and the recession bas kept you I away from Lincoln Center, then head on down to Grand Central Station, where the music of great classical composers floats melodiously, free of charge, over the din of rushing commuters. Many stop dead in their tracks when they realize the West Village Quartet is the origin of the Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Haydn composition. Some view these four young men curiously. Others look delighted. One man with his eyes closed and wearing a faint smile waves his forefinger ~.::======;;;..~ F. row I. lor. • Carlo Baptultt & David Burnell back and forth to passages of 8. row J. tor.• Kennttlh Edward6 6- Kenneth Ptttman Haydn's Concerto in F Major. Perhaps be's thankful for stumbling upon an end-of-the-day-relaxer far superior to a dry martini at Happy Hour. But if there's delight, there's also puzzlement. After all, why is this talented string quurtct playing in the subway? Well, it's not about" brother can you spare a dime?" Each member is a professional musician, trained at some of the best schools in the United States and Great Britain. Individually, they have played with leading metropolitan orchestras and, as an ensemble, at concerts sponsored by universities, churches, historic societies and civil rights organizations. The quartet bas also played the Bennett Conservatory Annual Scholarship Concert, which usually features well-known musicians. David Burnett and Kenneth Pearson began playing together while studying at the New York High School of Music and Art and later at professional schools of music. They became the West Village Quartet five years ago, deriving their name from frequent appearances in Greenwich Village. Gaining recognition proved difficult in a city with many young quartets. So they chose an unusual route for serious classical musicians. They auditioned for Music Under New York (MUNY), a project established by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to schedule musicians in railway and subway stations. "We were the first string quartet to try such an approach, something untried by most classical musicians," says David Burnett, second violin and Quartet manager. The approach paid off. Almost immediately they were invited to perform at Gracie Mansion, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and many churches such as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. They have appeared on WNET's Children's Express and CBS' Entertainment Tonight. They have also appeared in the PBS film Runaway, starring Jasmine Guy, leading actress in the television program A Different World. Recently, the New York City Health Commissioner invited them to play at Gracie Mansion for Mayor David Dinkins, and the British American Chamber of Commerce also invited them to perform there for the Duchess of York, better known as Princess Fergie. Recognition was inevitable, however, when you consider the quartet members' talent and training. London-born Carlo Baptiste, first violin, studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School and Royal Academy of Music in Great Britain. Mr. Baptiste has been a soloist with the Royal Academy Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra in London. In New York he studied at the Mannes College of Music and performed at Carnegie Recital Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Concert Hall and on radio station WQXR. David Burnett, second violin, was born In Harlem. After graduating from the New York High School of Music and Art, he studied at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio and the Boston Conservatory. Mr. Burnett played with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the New York Youth Symphony and the Ohio Ashland Symphony. Kenneth Edwards, violinist, also born in Harlem and graduated from the New York High School of Music and Art. He received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Juilliard School and a master's degree from North Carolina School of the Arts. Mr. Edwards is principal violist in the Bloomingdale Chamber Orchestra, the

Ho studied at tho Mannes School and tho Philadelphia College of Performing Arts and recently gruduutod from Temple University School of Music. Mr. Pearson bas played In tho Metropolitan Philharmonic and the All-City Orchestra. Desidos European composers, the Quartet enjoys playing the works of composers of African descent. "A lot of people don't know that thoro wore black composer," says Durnell "For example," be conllnues,"Cbevaller de St. Georges, born in Guadeloupe, West Indies, lived during the 18th Century." Burnett further explains that Afrlcun descendants played classical music during slavery. Slaves who woro physically unfit to work In tho field wore sent to VIenna or otlwr European cities to learn music. Joseph White, born In Cuba In 1839, was one of U1em . Today, there are several African American composers Including George Walker, David Dakar, Noel DaCosta, Kermit Moore and Dorothy Rudd Moore. One of tho Quartet's gonls Is to bring classical music to Afrlcnn-Amorlcuns, espccinlly olemontary school children. "Diacks uro always associated with RhyU1m and Dluos, Gospel, and Rap," says Ournull, adding "I Jovo R & D and Gospel, bull don't think wo should bo llmilud to thom." The Qunrlol also strives to Introduce other African American classical musldans to the public.
