Miro, Miro
Just got my alumni newsletter this evening and guess what: my beloved UT Music School, under whose auspices I toiled from age 6 through my sophomore year in college, now has a resident string quartet!
Check the Miro Quartet out on their website. My, aren't they a handsome bunch?
Unfortunately, we've missed their October 16th debut in Bates, but they'll be back - in February '04. Somehow, I'd have hoped that a resident of UT would come back sooner, but with the hectic international performance schedules these guys appear to have (which is part of why I guess they got the faculty appointment in the first place), I guess it'll have to do.
I also checked the UT performance calendar for the month of November and noticed that the beloved Jessen Series and Plan II Chamber Music Recital concerts are happening in parallel on the day I arrive for Thanksgiving week - AND - the UT Symphony is playing on the 24th.
For those of you who will be in the Homeland during my stay, I propose that we legitimately go see the faculty recital at Jessen, then walk across campus to MRH and crash the Plan II shindig, consuming the hors d'oeuvres table, eventually migrating to Spiderhouse for coffee and desert and the usual postconcert dish session.
Sounds like fun, eh? When you party with The Carl, you really hit it hard.
Yeah.
