Josh has it good before our recent concert in Tucson…

John looks on as the co-presenter in Hamilton does a final count for the quartet’s first a la carte program…and the winner is…!

The quartet played a school show in Hamilton the day after their concert there. They were greeted by a rock band setup at the school!

Josh is surrounded by a gaggle of his fans after the school show…and Sandy and Daniel were surrounded by…no fans…they were sad.

So…here we are in Buffalo, NY! Because of the latest onslaught of Northeastern snow, we are stranded here for an extra day as we prepare to brave the winter roads for tomorrow’s concert in Syracuse. Yesterday evening we performed an all-Beethoven concert here in Buffalo. After the concert, Brian Ching (son of Miró violinist’s Daniel and Sandy) got his first trip to bar! (To be fair, it was the only place open near the concert venue that was serving food!)

Sandy and Brian check out the stage of the newly renovated Alice Tully Hall. It looks great and sounds much better!
Right after the concert with David Finckel, co-Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (his wife Wu Han is the other director). David mixed the ‘tinis himself for us.

South Beach meets 80’s nightmare in AZ?

A Transport Canada regulation, the “cello net” is the most ridiculous thing I encounter traveling with my cello. Meant to restrain the cello, it generally does a much worse job than the seatbelt I strap around it on flights in the United States. The THREE ground crew personnel who were assigned to “net” duty had no idea how to secure it just draped it over the case and tied a few knots to feign security. Ridiculous. It used to frustrate me but now I just laugh (as do the stewards and stewardesses).

Once again, we have the pleasure of performing in the French West Indies at the St. Barts Music Festival–one of the most beautiful places on earth! In addition to running into Steve Martin at the grocery store, we have enjoyed performing music with great colleagues and old friends.
