With the retirement of Marilyn McDonald, long-serving member of both the Smithson and Axelrod quartets, the three remaining ASQ members—Marc Destrubé, James Dunham, and Kenneth Slowik—are using this season to perform with a number of violinists in programs that illustrate the breadth of the quartet repertoire while being unified through the inclusion of a Beethoven quartet in F Major on each program. Concert Program Haydn: Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, No. 2, "Fifths" Britten: Quartet No. 2 in C Major, Op. 36 Beethoven: Quartet in F Major, Op. 135 Program guest is violinist Joseph Puglia.
