FSQ at USU Series | Memory, Longing, and What Extends Beyond

The FSQ@USU 2026/27 Season opens with The Viola Burns Longer—a concert bursting with personality, creativity, and wit; continues with When You Think You Can’t Go Further, which pushes beyond the outer bounds of the quartet tradition; and closes with Memory, Longing, and What Extends Beyond, widening toward ecological memory, mortality, gratitude, and what survives us.

Brittany J. Green | Lead Me Home (2021)
Aakash Mittal | Living Memory for string quartet & film (2026)
Ludwig van Beethoven | String Quartet in A Minor, Op. 132

The FSQ@USU season closes with three works that reach toward memory, home, loss, and what endures.
Brittany J. Green’s Lead Me Home, for strings and electronics, draws upon Thomas Dorsey’s hymn “Precious Lord, Take My Hand,” allowing fragments of familiar material to emerge through shimmering strings and ethereal electronic sound. Aakash Mittal’s Living Memory, written for the Fry Street Quartet in response to the creatures and habitats of the Sundarbans, returns in a newly expanded version incorporating film, heard here for the first time.
At the center of Beethoven’s Op. 132 lies one of the most profound movements in the quartet repertoire: his Heiliger Dankgesang—a “Holy Song of Thanksgiving” written after recovering from serious illness. Across centuries and vastly different sound worlds, these three works listen backward and forward at once, asking what we carry, what we lose, and what might extend beyond us.
