This season opens with a gathering.
A circle that widens.

In this first concert, the Fry Street Quartet steps into joyful collaboration—with three esteemed colleagues and a program that arcs from solo meditation, to duo dialogue, to the radiant fullness of six voices.

Khudoyan’s sonata begins in solitude: austere, searching.
Bowen’s lush duo draws us into intricate conversation.
And Brahms’ sextet—rooted in memory and longing—offers a generous invitation into shared resonance. Music as friendship, unfolding across time.
