ONE MORE WINNER ON THE LIST OF WONDERFUL EVENTS I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD.

THIS ONE NIGHTER AT THE DOC RANDO RECITAL HALL ON THE UNLV CAMPUS.

4 STRINGS....HOW CAN THIS BE BAD....CAN'T !

I SAW STRING QUARTETS BACK TO BACK NIGHTS...MONDAY AT THE SMITH CENTER WITH THEIR USUAL AUDIO PROBLEMS......(GOOD GROUP....NOT MUSIC TO MY TASTE)......TUESDAY THE FRY STREET QUARTET AT THE RANDO.....NO AUDIO PROBLEMS.

BEING A CLASSICAL FAN THEIR PROGRAM FELL INTO THE WHAT MUSIC WOULD ED BRUCE LIKE TO HEAR CATEGORY !

SCHUBERT.....NICE OPENER

BRITTEN....FOUR MOVEMENTS WITH A LOVELY INTRO ABOUT THE MUSIC...

RAVEL......FOUR MOVEMENTS WITH A LOVELY INTRO ABOUT THE MUSIC....AND IT WAS SUPER.

MUSIC....DELICATE...SOFT ......WELL PLAYED BY 4 PROFESSIONALS ON THE SAME TEAM.......THEN.....

WITH THE INTRO TO THE SHOW....IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE QUARTET WOULD CONDUCT A MASTERS CLASS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT 4 AT RANDO....

PERFECT TRANSITION FROM MY PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE THOMAS AND MACK PBR TO THE RANDO.

WHAT A HOOT THIS WAS TO LEARN...LISTEN AND ENJOY.....THERE WERE THREE PIECES PLAYED BY MASTERS STUDENTS AND THEN CRITQUED BY THE QUARTET.....GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS TO LEARN AND A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO WITNESS SOMETHING NEW.

HOW MANY MASTERS CLASSES HAVE YOU ATTENDED ?    ONE FOR ME !
