Fragments: A Conversation With Mark Steinberg of the Brentano Quartet
10/12/11 3:00PM
This Friday evening, the Brentano String Quartet performs a fascinating
program at Darmouth College, in which contemporary composers wrote
companion pieces to unfinished "fragments" of pieces by classical
composers. I spoke with violinist Mark Steinberg of the Brentano
quartet about the program, and we'll hear that conversation this
afternoon.
Information about the performance at Darmouth can be found here.
