Haydn and Janáček aren't chopped liver as composers of string quartets.  But I'm recommending this show for the new stuff accompanying those great masters' pieces on this program, all by composers just dripping with audience appeal:  Juri Seo, who can write lush music without sounding anachronistic;Christopher Theofanidis, an "Atlanta School" composer who has the knack of creating instantly accessible pieces that nevertheless are full of surprises; and Ted Hearne, mainly known for his vocal music, who composes some of the most communicative work around.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Good, relatively inexpensive Greek at Souvlaki GR.
