She will play the first movement of de Beriot's Concerto No. 7 for Violin. The Stars Aligned Siblings - a very young quartet from San Pablo, Calif.

The siblings have already taken their show on the road, touring United Kingdom, Argentina, Mexico, and in the United States and appearing in festivals, broadcasts and competitions, where they have won numerous awards. They will play the first movement of Beethoven's Quartet, Op. 18, No. 6.
