    When art begets art, creativity is a mobius journey that captures the imagination over and over again. Such is this new work by Butler School of Music faculty composer Dan Welcher, both inspired by American impressionist artist Mary Cassatt and commissioned by the world-renowned string quartet which also bears the beloved painter’s name. Founded in 1985 and based in Manhattan, these four extraordinary women have performed at Carnegie Hall, the Tanglewood Music Theater, the Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress as well as venues across the U.S., Europe and the Far East. For this performance, the inspiration is fueled by fluid strokes, fine details and the sweeping beauty of Mary Cassatt’s inpenetrable work.
