Shively, along with Broadway stars Gabe Carrubba,&nbsp; Ethan Riordan, Gianni Palmarini and Eric Chambliss.Saturday night's performance is followed by an exclusive talkback with "Next to Normal"&nbsp;composer Tom KittTickets available on our website.

Prokofiev: String Quartet No. 2 in F Major
Brahms: String Quartet No. 1 in C Minor 
Both of these composers approached the string quartet form with reverence and some intimidation, with the examples of Haydn and Beethoven looming over them. Brahms is said to have thrown over 20 string quartets into the fireplace before settling on this “No. 1,” and Prokofiev composed his “2nd” while an evacuee from Moscow as Nazi air raids bombarded the city.
