The Fry Street Quartet, resident string quartet at Utah State University, presents “Fry Street and Friends” Thursday, Nov. 8. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Performance Hall on USU’s Logan campus.

“We have been waiting to perform a concert of mixed ensemble pieces with our fellow faculty and friends for a long time,” said Rebecca McFaul, assistant professor in the Caine College of the Arts and violinist in the Fry Street Quartet. “We are excited for the opportunity to break out of the quartet repertoire and collaborate with wonderful colleagues.”

Fry Street Quartet is joined by Matthew Zalkind, cello; Cindy Dewey, voice; Corbin Johnston, bass; Gary Amano, piano; Jason Hardink, piano and Mayumi Matzen, piano.

A variety of pieces will be performed, each with a different combination of quartet members and friends.

McFaul and Matzen will perform Sonata for Violin and Piano by Claude Debussy; Dewey, Bradley Ottesen and Amano will perform Two Songs for Alto, Viola and Piano, Op. 9 by Johannes Brahms; and Robert Watters, Ottesen, Zalkind, Johnston and Hardink will perform Piano Quintet in A Major, the ‘Trout’ by Franz Schubert.

Tickets at $10 general admission, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with valid ID. For more information or tickets visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus, call 435-797-8022 or see the college website.
