We are honored to host the renowned Lydian String Quartet for our final concert of the season! From its beginning in 1980, the Lydian String Quartet (Clara Lyon and Julia Glenn, violins; Mark Berger, 

viola; Joshua Gordon, cello) has been acclaimed by audiences and critics across the USA and abroad for embracing the full range of the string quartet repertory with curiosity, virtuosity, and 

dedication to the highest artistic ideals of music making. The Lydians have been awarded top prizes in international string quartet competitions, including Evian, Portsmouth and Banff, and the Naumburg 

Award for Chamber Music.



The program will include Franz Schubert's String Quartet No. 12 in C minor, D. 703, Benjamin 

Britten s String Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36, and the most recent LSQ Commission Prize, Juniper 

and Birch by Lembit Beecher.
