On Sunday, April 28 at 3:30pm, the Fullerton Friends of Music will present a free concert by the Diderot String Quartet at the Wilshire Auditorium located at 315 East Wilshire Ave.

Named after the eighteenth-century French philosopher and Boccherini enthusiast Denis Diderot, the Diderot Quartet brings a fresh approach to works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Diderot came together in 2012 after having first met at Oberlin Conservatory and The Juilliard School. The four musicians share a background in historical performance and a passion for the string quartet genre; they found the thrill of exploring the quartet repertoire on period instruments to be irresistible.
