Debussy: String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10
Claude Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10, a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire, will close our October concert with its impressionistic textures and vivid harmonic language.

"Night Fire," a work for string quartet and tenor by Akshaya Tucker, was also written for the Fry Street Quartet and premiered last spring in the NOVA series in Salt Lake City. Another work created in partnership with GLFCAM’s "Composing Earth" project, Tucker’s composition, with its vivid textures and poignant text by Wren Brian, confronts us with the terror of escaping a wildfire. The FSQ is joined by tenor Thomas Glenn for this performance.

Bartók’s Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, a work of intense energy and rhythmic drive, showcases the composer’s deep connection to the folk traditions of Eastern Europe.
