Tonight’s quintet includes pianist Rieko Aizawa, violinists Jesse Mills and Hye-Jin Kim, violinist and violist Ara Gregorian and violist Max Mendel in addition to Arron. They will perform pieces by Joaquin Turina, Feli Mendelssohn, Arvo Part and Ernest Chausson.

A cash bar happy hour precedes the concert and begins at 6 p.m. The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40 for the general public, $30 for members and $5 for students. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
