Mr. T. W. Surette of New York will deliver a lecture on "Brahms' String Quartet in A minor, opus 51, No. 2" in the Lecture Room of the Fogg Museum this evening at 8 o'clock. He will be assisted by the Olive Mead Quartet of New York. The lecture will be open to the public.

Mr. Surette is a lecturer on music at Cornell and the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and an author and composer. He studied under Professor J. K. Paine and Arthur Foote and at one time lectured by special invitation at the University of Oxford, England. In his address he will give suggestive comments and discussion on the structure and context of the work; and the whole composition will then be performed by the Olive Mead Quartet. The work is typical of Brahms, who is pre-eminent in expressing the modern romantic spirit in the classical musical forms. It was composed in 1869 and is the second of Brahms' three great string quartets.
