This week the Miro Quartet is running a chamber music workshop at Scripps College. Last night they gave a free concert. Hal and I joined Pat in listening to Haydn, Ives, and Schubert's Death and the Maiden (the draw for us). What an amazing quartet! The cellist is quite the character with facial expressions. He seemed to have the entire concert memorized as he kept looking over at the violins for cues. Also notable were his striped socks - quite visible to the audience.For an encore they played variations on Happy Birthday in various styles, which was quite funny for the music geeks.
