MIRO Quartet

An Austin gem is this string quartet who play classical and contemporary music and is in residence at UT Butler School of Music.  They teach students, coach chamber music and maintain a worldwide tour schedule. They are highly acclaimed throughout the world.  William Fedkenheuer has joined them this year as a violinist.  Tonight we heard a program up at Bates Concert Hall with works by Schubert, Glass and Brahams.  We both loved the Philip Glass piece, it was extraordinarily emotional.  Abe described it as macho.  I still can't tell if he was teasing but nevertheless he enjoyed the concert. 

Slacker 2011 and Miro Quartet in one week.  My kind of town.  Night y'all.
