"And it makes it more special because of the venues at which we perform. It's a wonderful situation to play chamber music in private homes, which may be the ideal setting for the most intimate of musical creations. Composers have traditionally utilized such small ensembles to convey their deepest musical thoughts and feelings, especially since they know the audience will be up close and personal."
