INFO: The Chinese-American siblings — violinists Timothy and Janet, violist Phillip and cellist David — have earned a reputation for making a connection between chamber music and other art forms. Examples include their work with the Turtle Island Quartet and with folk musician Mike Seeger, and Hyperscore, an online graphic compositional application that allows amateurs as well as professional musicians to compose using a personal computer. The quartet’s Sweet Briar program will include classical works, such as Giacomo Puccini’s “Il Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums)” and Claude Debussy’s “Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10,” plus selections from their new recording, “Dim Sum.”
