Cherubini's first quartet

I stumbled on this quartet this morning and I couldn't stop listening to it. It wasn't so much the music that caught my attention but these performers are absolutely wonderful. Their intonation and phrasing is just phenomenal. They bring so much life to a piece I don't think I would normally be dying to listen to. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Also, bonus points to the person who can name the piece/composer cherubini borrows the first melody from at the very beginning of the first movement. It sounds so familiar!

Occupy Ringer: Mission Accomplished

Hello all,

Thank you everyone for coming out to our concert on Thursday. It was a big success! And a big weight off our shoulders.

For anyone who didn't get a chance to see it live, we were lucky enough to have a friend capture the entire thing on a fancy digital camera (Thanks Nam!!).  You can find it all on YouTube, or by clicking here.

Well, I guess we should probably start working on next semester's project. Here goes nothing.

In just over a week (January 19th), Octave will be giving a recital in Ringer Recital Studio. Here's a little preview of what you may hear (starting around 2:43).
