Following the success of Music Box 2022, Chamber Music LA members team up again to present a joyous afternoon celebrating the quintessential chamber ensemble: the string quartet.
The core of chamber music is the string quartet—a medium and format in which the history of music—going back to the era of Mozart—is expressed. Mendelsohn and Schubert bring lyricism and soul, while the Late Romantic Schoenberg barely foretells the immense legacy of this and the last century. Will a mystery quartet drink from these fresh waters? You have to be there to find out.
String quartets from four of the Chamber Music LA member organizations perform in this rare showcase of Los Angeles quartet string playing of the highest caliber.
This program is generously sponsored in part by Jennifer Diener and Carol Henry.

SALASTINA Salastina brings their audience-favorite “Sounds Mysterious” format to Music Box. Host Brian Lauritzen selects a piece of music that is unfamiliar to the quartet. Following the performance, the musicians and the audience try to guess the composer. The delight of surprise and interactive “whodunnit” guessing game make for an engaging spin on the live concert experience.
