engagements in 40 states, in Austria, France, and the Far East.
In the past 10 years, the Quartet has released seven critically acclaimed
compact discs, the first on the Musical Heritage Society label, and subsequent

Record Guide named the Quartet's CD of the Dvorak piano quartets "one
of the best chamber music recordings of the century."
