The St. Lawrence String Quartet returns to Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Friday, April 8 at 8 p.m. in Samueli Theater. The centerpiece of the evening’s performance will be the Southern California premiere of American composer John Adams’ Second Quartet (2014). Of their collaborations with Adams, theWashington Post stated, “If good relationships are built on trust, the bond between the St. Lawrence String Quartet and composer John Adams is a marriage made in chamber music heaven.”
The quartet will also delve into the music of Haydn; known as the “father” of the string quartet repertoire, performing both his String Quartet in Eb-Major, Op. 33, No. 2 (Hob.III.38) “The Joke” and the masterful String Quartet in C major, Op. 76, No. 3 “Emperor.” The St. Lawrence String Quartet includes Geoff Nuttall, violin; Owen Dalby, violin; Lesley Robertson, viola and Christopher Costanza, cello.
