On September 27, 2011, the renowned Juilliard String Quartet joined Nancy Shear in a lively conversation about the ensemble's long performing career, touching on a broad range of topics, including their experiences working with living composers, coaching student ensembles, touring, and interacting with their audiences.

The quartet's newest member, Joseph Lin, spoke about joining the legendary quartet.

The event took place before an enthusiastic audience in Steinway Hall, the historic and beautiful showroom of Steinway & Sons in New York City.
