Inside Chamber Music is a new music education series that Asia Society Hong Kong Center is co-presenting with Premiere Performances. Each Inside Chamber Music evening combines a streamed lecture from renowned musical expert Bruce Adolphe, delivered for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York City, with a live performance from some of Hong Kong's most passionate chamber musicians. The April 28 lecture is on String Quartet in D major, Op.76, composed over 200 years ago by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). A live performance by Aristo Music will follow Bruce Adolphe's streamed lecture.

About the Amphion String Quartet (featured in the streamed lecture)
Hailed for its “precision, assertiveness and vigor” (The New York Times) and its “gripping intensity” and “suspenseful and virtuoso playing” (San Francisco Classical Voice), the Amphion String Quartet is a winner of the 2011 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition. After serving as the Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-In-Residence at the Caramoor Center for the Arts for the 2012-13 season, the ASQ joined the roster of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two Program in fall 2013, featuring the ensemble’s Alice Tully Hall debut in March 2014.
