The quartet, founded in 1992, in 2014 became the artists-in-residence at Yale University after a 14-year residency at Princeton. For their performance at the Howland Cultural Center, the group has chosen a unique reading of Bach’s The Art of the Fugue, an unfinished work of unspecified instrumentation. The performance will include readings by Beacon poet Roger Alpon and a play the quartet commissioned.

Tickets are $30 ($10 for students) and can be reserved by calling 845-765-3012 or visiting howlandmusic.org. A reception will follow the performance. The cultural center is located at 477 Main St.
