Emerson Quartet Interviewd by Northeast Public Radio

Please take a moment to listen to this wonderful interview of Eugene Drucker, Phil Setzer, Lawrence Dutton, and Paul Watkins, conducted by Northeast Public Radio/WAMC's Joe Donahue.  You'll learn more about their origins and next steps as this illustrious group "disbands" — retirement isn't in their vocabulary!

The ESQ comes to Manchester tomorrow, Thursday, June 29, for their premier performance with MMF, fresh from their last performance at Tanglewood. We imagine this to be a bittersweet finale juxtaposed with a fresh beginning, especially as Phil Setzer turns a page in his career as our new Artistic Director in 2024.

We are also pleased to share that Manchester Music Festival will now be included in the narrative for the upcoming ESQ documentary film; the crew has been following the farewell tour all over the world, and they will be filming here on Thursday and Friday.  As part of the documentary storytelling now, MMF can look forward to hosting a VT screening of the film later in 2024. Being part of this incredible story is thrilling! Stay tuned!
