Johannes Brahms wrote the Academic Festival Overture op. 80 in Bad Ischl in the summer of 1880 as a token of thanks for the honorary doctorate that had been bestowed upon him the previous year by the University of Breslau. In keeping with the event, the work contains various folkloric and student songs which Brahms borrowed from the well-known Commers-Buch fur den deutschen Studenten, a book containing material for the annual students' social gatherings. The overture's first performance was held in Breslau on 4 January 1881 under the direction of the composer. The present arrangement for string quartet by Christian Beyer compliments the already available overtures by Mozart, which Beyer also arranged for this instrumentation.

Adler's milestone String Quartet No. 10 was composed for the Cassatt String Quartet for performance at the Bowdoin International Music Festival's 50th Anniversary season in 2014. Built in a single movement of contrasting sections, Adler's 10th will continue to be featured in upcoming concerts by the Cassatt Quartet, including a performance in Beijing in July.
The String Quartet No. 10 was written in 2013 for the 50th anniversary of the Bowdoin International Summer Music Festival and is dedicated to the Cassatt Quartet who premiered the work during the 50th anniversary celebration in July 2014.  The work was written with a generous grant from the Fromm Music Foundation.The 10th String Quartet is in one continuous movement but divided into four sections.  The first section is a slow introduction which presents the basic harmonic material of the entire work.  This is suddenly interrupted by a very agitated movement forming a great contrast to the calm of the beginning.  This rhythmic drive comes to a stop and is relieved by the third section which is a variation of the beginning, but is a bit longer and more developed.  This is followed by the final section which again captures the agitation of the second section and brings the work to a wild and most aggressive end.—Samuel Adler.

Anoth er prize-winning composition from Needham is his String Quartet No. 1, which sprang from an afternoon's exposure to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Says the composer, The work itself is about cycles. Nature cycles (day to night, seasonal, moon, tides, etc.), life cycles, and even cycles in music make their way into the piece, both consciously and subconsciously. The work is a homage to nature and to the affective spirit found in the music of Vivaldi..

Havin g performed Garrop's String Quartet No. 2: Demons and Angels with much success, it is only natural that the Biava Quartet would handle the premiere of String Quartet No.3: Gaia. In an email interview with Pittsburgh New Music Net, Biava violist Mary Persin says, in part, We received many very enthusiastic responses from audience members who were struck by the interesting form, as well as the sonorities created by using a good deal of dissonance as well as harmonics. Watch for a recording by the Biava Quartet to be made available soon. For advanced performers. Duration: 32' 30.
