Aspen

Hello everyone!

I'm coming at you from the middle of a beautiful two months at the Aspen Music Festival. I know, I know...it's a hard knock life. It's been an amazingly productive time for us. We've performed Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet and Dvorak's "American" Quartet, and we are now beginning work on Janacek's 1st Quartet. Look forward to hearing that one in the fall. In addition to our performances (including one in the lovely Harris Hall), we have had the opportunity to be coached by many world-class musicians. The list includes David Finckel (Emerson Quartet), James Dunham (Cleveland Quartet), Earl Carlyss (Juilliard Quartet), Takacs Quartet, Sylvia Rosenberg, and David Halen. All these amazing musicians have given us new tools and ideas, and we've been soaking it all in.

Our time here is nearing an end, and we'll be back in Boulder towards the end of August. Excited to see many of you again!
