Rendezvous Arts brings music, art and people together to encourage conversations and connections that contribute to people’s lives. Join us!
Rendezvous Arts -KAIA SQ + Fareed Haque | Margie Criner (Lake Forest, IL)
This Valentine’s week, we are turning up the romance with a concert that feels like a love letter in sound. The KAIA String Quartet joins forces with the brilliant guitarist Fareed Haque for an evening that blends passion, virtuosity, and pure joy.
At the heart of the program is Haque’s own Quintet for Guitar and Strings, Op. 60, a piece that showcases his signature blend of lyricism and fire. The journey continues with music by Latin American icons Ricardo Lorenz and Astor Piazzolla, whose tangos are equal parts smoldering and tender. Eduardo Angulo’s El Alevín (The Minnow) adds playful sparkle to the mix, proof that even the smallest notes can carry big emotion.
Rendezvous Arts -KAIA SQ + Fareed Haque | Margie Criner (Dixon, IL)
Doors open at 7pm. Come early and enjoy the artwork from our featured Artist before you sit down at 7:30 to Celebrate Valentine’s week with Kaia String Quartet and Guitarist Fareed Haque in a concert that glows with passion and brilliance. From Piazzolla’s tangos to Haque’s fiery quintet, every note is a love letter. Sculptor Margie Criner’s hidden worlds complete an evening of romance, art, and discovery.
