If you think classical music is stuffy and boring, this internationally acclaimed quartet will definitely change your mind. Their virtuosity is dazzling, but never daunting; their style is contemporary and down-to-earth, never high-falutin’ or condescending. They demonstrate the unique sounds of the violin, cello and viola, introduce students to a variety of timeless classic works and show how music enables us to imagine an animal or conjure a feeling without ever using words.
