Featuring Heather Kao, violin Nancy Case-Oates, violin Kate Read, viola Nathan Cook, cello On The Program Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in D major, Op. 50, No. 6 – 20 minutes Alice Ho: The Plight of Small Wonders – 9 minutes Alice Ho: The Golden Eagle for Flute and String Quartet – 7 minutes Amy Beach: Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet, Op. 80 – 22 minutes The program begins with Joseph Haydn at his most clever and clear, a quartet that feels both light on its feet and tightly built. Two works by Alice Ho shift the sound world, bringing in new textures and colors, including a striking role for flute. Amy Beach’s Theme and Variations rounds things out, unfolding gradually and giving the whole ensemble space to really settle into a shared sound.
