As we gear up for our 10th anniversary season, it seems like a good time to look back at how it all began...

At 9:51 AM, Anonymous said...: Wh does Julie have an arrow stuck to her cello? Also, is there anything significant about the fact that you and Emily are playing in dresses while Julie seems very comfortable in shorts and bright red sneakers? Does this say anything about your differing personalities?

The program for Mobile is still TBD, but that concert will take place at Laidlaw Auditorium at South Alabama University at 7:30pm.

As for the Boston concerts, the one on November 30th is part of an Elliott Carter celebration of his 100th birthday. We will play his Piano Quintet in collaboration with members of the Borromeo String Quartet. The concert in January will be a part of the 90th birthday celebration for Leon Kirchner and as I understand it, we will be playing his piano trios (which incidentally will be on our next disc!).

Hope that helps!
