The Ariel String Quartet may not be a household name, but the quality of its playing — its members play in a variety of regional orchestras — has earned it the highest commissioning grant awarded by Chamber Music America. Often performing under the auspices of the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento, the quartet drops into Berkeley's Giorgi Gallery on Claremont Avenue this Friday to perform music by Haydn, Dvoràk, and the East Bay's prolific Clark Suprynowicz. 8:00 p.m., $15/$12. Tickets: 510-848-1228 or GiorgiGallery.com
