First up is the fresh, young Tesla Quartet with "Variations on a Russian Theme," which will include

a string quartet by Pavel Karmanov and Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky's String Quartet, No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11.

Praised for their "superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they play, regardless of era, style or technical demand," the Tesla Quartet brings refinement and prowess to both new and established repertoire.
