This long weekend, as we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., there is no shortage of collaborations among artists this weekend, as just about every performance listed below finds musicians partnering with other musicians on stage. 

John Adams's Second Quartet receives its world premiere in a performance by the St. Lawrence String Quartet at Stanford University's Bing Concert Hall Sunday night, bookended by works by Haydn and Beethoven. Adams wrote the new piece for the St. Lawrence, as he did his original String Quartet (now likely to be known as the First Quartet), the first recording of which was released on Nonesuch Records in 2011.

"String quartet writing is one of the most difficult challenges a composer can take on," Adams says. "What I appreciate about my friends in the St. Lawrence is their willingness to let me literally ‘improvise’ on them as if they were a piano or a drum and I a crazy man beating away with only the roughest outlines of what I want."
