The Aizuri Quartet are like all over the place this season -- and one thing that's become clear is that they are really good.  Here, just limiting things to composers whose work I know (sorry, Evan Premo!), they'll be doing Gabriella Smith's lively-with-a-bullet Carrot Revolution (if you don't absolutely love it, I'll refund you the price of this newsletter); some of Komitas's entrancingArmenian folksong arrangements; and, joined by the excellent soprano Mary Bonhag (married to Evan Premo, so I guess he'll get two mentions in any event), Schoenberg's landmark Second String Quartet, in which you can hear tonality start to crumble before your ears.
