Featuring three luxurious works for harp and string quartet: a transcendent Adagio by Tchaikovsky, a darkly exotic tone poem in miniature by Mikhael Gnessin, and Andre Caplet's dramatic setting of Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death. These are bookended by two works for string quartet which feature harplike plucking: Jesse Montgomery's wildly popular Strum, and Beethoven's exuberant "Harp" Quartet.

- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Adagio molto
- Andre Caplet - Conte fantastique
- Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet in E-flat, op. 74 "Harp"
