The American Piano Quartet will perform Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Procession of the Nobles" from "Malada," arranged by Hancock, and Bach's Fugue in D Major for Organ, BWV 532, arranged by Holden.

A guest piano quartet consisting of Ree Lu, Jim Lu, Victor Yu and Kento Young will perform Moritz Moszkowski's Spanish Dance, op. 12. No. 1 with the American Piano Quartet.
