CANTON -- St. Lawrence University will host the San Francisco-based Alexander String Quartet for a three-day residency beginning Oct. 8, which includes two free concerts.

They will perform a full formal concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 10 in the Gulick Theatre.

The concert program will include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “String Quartet No. 21 in D Major, K.575,” “String Quartet No. 2 in C, Op. 36” by Benjamin Britten, and “String Quartet in F Major” by Maurice Ravel.

The ensemble will perform a second, more informal concert at noon Oct. 11 in the Peterson-Kermani Performance Hall in the Griffiths Arts Center.

The musicians at this performance will provide commentary about works they perform and the lives of composers.
