Composed of violinists Lucy Wang and Hao Zhou, violist Aiden Kane, and cellist Tate Zawadiuk, the group was formed in 2015 in Los Angeles at the Colburn Conservatory of Music. The string quartet performs movements from three works, one by contemporary composer Alistair Coleman, another by Haydn, in honor of his contribution to string quartet repertory and chamber music, and one by Mendelssohn.
