Faculty Chamber Recital with Guest Composer Jim Stephenson
Faculty artists present an evening of chamber music featuring works by Olivier Messiaen, Walter Rabl, and guest composer James Stephenson. The program is anchored by Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, an eight‑movement work for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano that explores a wide range of textures, colors, and expressive possibilities.
Also on the program are the opening movement of Rabl’s Quartet in E‑flat Major, Op. 1, and Stephenson’s Quartet for a New Tomorrow, a four‑movement contemporary work offering contrast in mood, tempo, and character.

ArtsKSU Presents Professional Series: Kronos Quartet
For 50 years, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet—David Harrington (violin), Gabriela Díaz (violin), Ayane Kozasa (viola), and Paul Wiancko (cello)—has challenged and reimagined what a string quartet can be. Founded at a time when the form was largely centered on long-established, Western European traditions, Kronos has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the string quartet into a living art form that responds to the people and issues of our time. We are delighted to welcome them to the Bailey Performance Center at KSU!
