The Quartet collaborates with some of today’s most esteemed composers to premiere new works, keeping the string quartet form alive and relevant. The group has partnered in performance with such stellar soloists as Reneé Fleming, Barbara Hannigan, Evgeny Kissin, Emanuel Ax, and Yefim Bronfman, to name a few. Musical Program: Chacony in G minor Henry Purcell Quartet No. 14, Op. 142 Dmitri Shostakovich Quartet in A minor, Op. 132 Ludwig van Beethoven
