The Telegraph Quartet, SFCM's ensemble-in-residence, presents classics in the chamber music repertoire as well as a work by a living composer. Following pieces for string quartet by Franz Joseph Haydn and Gabriela Lena Frank, the Telegraph members invite four students to join them for a performance of one of the most celebrated chamber music works, the Mendelssohn Octet. The students in this performance were selected through the Telegraph Players Chamber Competition paneled by the Telegraph members.
