On 9/30, the members of the succesful Cypress String Quartet talked to two music industry classes about how to be succesful as performing musicians.
They emphasized the importance of not only being disciplined as musicians, but also functioning as a business, rather as a rock band or a classical quartet.
This was just a part of the quartet's interaction with LVC and its students. During the whole week, underwritten by the Newton and Adelaide Burgner Endowed Fund for
Chamber Music, the quartet served as part of a residency program giving a recital featuring:
Beethoven Quartet Op.135
Griffes Two Sketches Based on Native American Themes
and Dvorak's Quartet Op.96 "American"
They also gave master classes for LVC students and
for a select group of high school string players
