Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts

2026 FRICTION QUARTET IN CONCERT

Join us for a culminating concert of the Friction Quartet's residence at Ruth Asawa. Last semester, this incredible ensemble of string players sat side-by-side with orchestra students in rehearsal, coached chamber music, and shared invaluable advice and guidance on what it means to be a musician in the 21st century. Now, come see the quartet do what they do best — perform!

Program:
György Ligeti - String Quartet No. 1 (Métamorphoses nocturnes)
Andy Akiho - LIgNeouS
with James Beauton, marimba

Runtime: 75 minutes, with a short break in between pieces
