Concert Program

Beyond the regular repetoire, the theme of the concert, in the performers' words,  

"a Day in the life of a Gigging String Quartet." 

Performers likened it to a MENU with ...

Hors D'ourves by Handel, Bach and Vivaldi with a  soupcon of Moureau
Main Entree in the form of a Mozart Divertimento.
Side Dishes for the romantic by Kreisler, Albeniz, Offenbach and Schubert.
Assorted Deserts and Lighter Farefrom the movies, dancehall and jazz club...maybe even some.Bruno Mars.
