Our Chamber Music Program is up and running! We are excited to announce that the Euclid Quartet (Quartet in Residence at IUSB) will assist with our June H. Edwards Chamber Music Program this season. Members Jameson Cooper and Jacob Murphy (violin), Luis Vargas (viola), and Darren Li (cello) teach their respective instruments at IUSB; Cooper also conducts the IUSB Philharmonic.
