Chamber Arts Music



Prof. Meyer in our department was very kind and gave me tickets to two chamber arts performances at Duke. These season tickets are actually from his friends, also profs. at Duke. I made a small thank you card for the original ticket holder. The image is of the front and back of the card.

The first performance I already went to, and it was a group called Opus One, with violin, viola, cello and piano. The performance was great technically, and we also got to hear in the second piece a work written by composer George Tsontakis specifically for Opus One. It was very funky and modern with a classical bent. Apparently the lead violinist, Ida Kavafian, was friends with Tsontakis while they both studied at Julliard.

The next performance I look forward to, and it's the Emerson String Quartet!
