Setnor Auditorium, located in Crouse College. It is free and open to the public. Parking is available in Irving Garage.

The program will include the New York premiere of Nicolas Scherzinger’s “Whisper,” Bright Sheng’s “String Quartet No. 4 (Silent Temple)” and Aaron Copland’s “Sextet for String Quartet, Clarinet and Piano,” which will also feature SU Professors Ronald Caravan on clarinet and Fred Karpoff on piano.

Formed in 1985 with the encouragement of the Juilliard Quartet, the Cassatt initiated and was one of the inaugural participants in Juilliard’s Young Artists Quartet Program. Its numerous awards include a Tanglewood Chamber Music Fellowship, the Wardwell Chamber Music Fellowship at Yale, First Prizes at the Fischoff and Coleman Chamber Music Competitions, two top prizes at the Banff International String Quartet Competition, the 1995 CMA/ASCAP First Prize Award for Adventurous Programming and a 1996 recording grant from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust.
