On November 3, 2026, the Ehnes Quartet – a 'dream team' comprised of prize-winning artists, each with outstanding solo careers and prestigious academic positions – and special guest Jonathan Vinocour, principal viola of the San Francisco Symphony since 2009, come together for a program that includes Brahms' String Quintets, Op. 88 and Op. 111. Tickets are $50-$70.

On February 9, 2027, ASC presents Ehnes and Lark. Violinist Tessa Lark, a Kentucky native equally at home playing Bach and bluegrass, joins Ehnes in concert to perform duos by Bartok and Prokofiev. Ehnes will play the Ysaye Ballade, and Lark will perform her own 'Ysaye Shuffle.' Following intermission, they will be joined by friends for a performance of the Bruch Octet for strings. Tickets are $60-$100.
