Aided by well-chosen singers, the string quartet has created a fearless tribute to the godfather of folk protest

It’s clearly no accident that the San Francisco string quartet are paying tribute to the late civil rights activist Pete Seeger on the eve of a presidential election. There were few more resilient opponents of Trumpian values than Seeger, who weathered FBI investigation, blacklisting and a jail sentence on his way to becoming the godfather of folk protest. In 2011, at age 92, he was still to be found marching on Wall Street.
