In March, the DaPonte String Quartet will tour throughout Maine with their “Breaking the Mold” program. DaPonte will break into smaller ensembles to perform a duo and a trio.

Described by Ravel as a “turning point in his career,” the Sonate pour violon et violoncello/A la mémoire de Claude Debussy is marked by an abandonment of the lush harmonies of his earlier impressionistic works, and the embracement of a jazzy, angular sound with fantastic modal melodies. Mozart’s Divertimento in E-flat Major for String Trio is six movements, and stands alone among his chamber works in both scoring and length. Each of the three voices — violin, viola, and cello — share equally in a passionate, humanist conversation.

The following concerts are planned.

Thursday, March 10, at 7 p.m. at the Maine Jewish Museum, 267 Congress St., in Portland.

Friday, March 11, at 7 p.m. at Bangor Arts Exchange, 193 Exchange St., Bangor.

Sunday, March 13, at 3 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Church, 380 Academy Hill Road, Newcastle.

Saturday, March 19, at 3 p.m. at Meetinghouse Arts, 40 Main St., Freeport.

Saturday, March 26, at 3 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, 22 Tenney Hill, in Blue Hill.

These concerts are vaccination and mask required events.

Tickets can be purchased online at daponte.org, and at bangorartsexchange.org.
