13 Nov, 2020 07:36:58 PM - Daniel McDonough--Jupiter Quartet - "he was so inventive in his early music. just a teenager when he wrote this. he was enamored with beethoven's quartets at the time"

13 Nov, 2020 07:43:05 PM - Mahaney Arts Center - "Dan, is the quartet working with student in person this term, remotely, or a hybrid model of the two?"

13 Nov, 2020 07:47:41 PM - Daniel McDonough--Jupiter Quartet - "This little aria for quartet will go directly into the fiery last mvmt!"

13 Nov, 2020 07:47:54 PM - Liza Sacheli - "That's so nice to hear (thank you!) Robison Hall was built with string quartets in mind-- that music has historically been one of the Performing Arts Series' strengths."

13 Nov, 2020 08:20:46 PM - Liza Sacheli - "Maybe a silly question, but... do you worry about scratching your instruments when you play a piece with a card like this? I imagine your instruments are very precious!"
