From the world's most prestigious stages to America's farm towns, this Grammy-winning ensemble has dedicated two decades to reaching new audiences with contemporary music and reinvigorated masterworks. On a program with Shostakovich's dramatic Quartet No. 9 and Beethoven's dazzling Quartet in C Major, Op. 59, No. 3 “Rasumovsky,” the Ying—three siblings plus outstanding new member Frank Huang on violin—premieres a Hop co-commission by American composer Richard Danielpour, renowned for deeply emotional, rhythmically dynamic work.
