The Family Concert will open with an introduction to the instruments in the string quartet, and an illustration of the different roles that are generally assigned to each instrument.

The quartet will then move on to play-throughs of individual movements from string quartets of Haydn, Dvorak and Schulhoff, with descriptions and demonstrations of the diverse tools each composer uses to make their own approach to string quartet writing distinct and special.

In this program, the Aeolus Quartet strives to be both engaging and informative for students of all ages, helping to cultivate a greater love for music, as well as a deeper understanding of how a team can become greater than the sum of its parts.

The Aeolus Quartet, Grand Prize winners of the 2011 Plowman Chamber Music Competition and 2011 Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition, were also awarded First Prize for Strings at the 2009 Coleman International Chamber Music Competition.

The Quartet is the Graduate Resident String Quartet at the Juilliard School.
