Lydian String Quartet with Jiayan Sun

			    

			                        

                        
Event Description:

                        

                            
A Boston institution, the Lydians were last here in 2020.  They return to join Smith College faculty pianist Jiayan Sun to play César Franck’s magnificent F minor Quintet, Haydn’s quirky “Bird” Quartet, op. 33/3 in C, and a new quartet composed for them and premiered just last April, Kurt Rohde’s “seeking all that’s still unsung.”



FREE pre-concert talk with the musicians at 2:00 and hosted by John Montanari.
