The benefit began with Bach's "Chaconne," a solo violin piece.

Lin's next piece, Beethoven's

"Kreutzer Sonata," featured Loeb's accompaniment.

The second part of the program featured all four participants, as Ngwenyama and Rosen joined Lin and Loeb for a performance of Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 3.

"These pieces worked for the people involved," he said.
