About Lux String Quartet: Lux String Quartet was founded in 2013 and performs in a wide array of musical spheres, from concert halls and churches to coffee shops and podcasts. Lux performs classical music with a focus on 20th and 21st-century repertoire as well as works by living composers. Lux likes to create new experiences for their audiences by choosing composers and pieces that are not frequently played.
Program Description: In their 2025-26 Class Notes Concert, Lux String Quartet will explore how music combines concepts that sometimes seem like they don’t belong together. We’ll explore dissonance, musical conversations, and the disparate sounds that modern composers synthesize to create their unique music.
They will dive into and perform Gabriella Smith’s Carrot Revolution, Astor Piazzolla’s Four for Tango, and Heitor Villa Lobos’ String Quartet No. 5.
