Axiom Quartet Presents:
24-25 Classical Series

Axiom’s 2024-25 Classical Series (free to students and their families), held in collaboration with our host the Houston Saengerhalle, consists of four uniquely themed programs full of audience interaction, storytelling, historical exploration, and rarely performed repertoire.
Risky(er) Business will investigate the vastly different historical outcomes of Soviet composers Dmitri Shostakovich and Nikolai Roslavets, whose Fifth Quartet will receive its U.S. premiere.
In Redefine or Redesign, Axiom will guide listeners on a scavenger hunt through the 300-year saga of the German string quartet.
Through the Lens of the Concert Hall will feature string quartets by Rozsa, Korngold, and Glass, composers famous for their film soundtracks, and asks, “What happens when stories unfold on stage instead of film?”
In A Voice in the Wilderness, Axiom will be joined by award-winning musicologist Dr. Howard Pollack (University of Houston) for a biographical lecture performance exploring the life and musicianship of composer Ernest Bloch.


These concerts will feature lighting design by Jim Elliott to capture the intimacy of the Saengerhalle.
