living with janacek

Yesterday my quartet (the Arnica Quartet) played an early Mozart quartet (the G major, K. 157) and the great second string quartet of Leos Janacek, subtitled Intimate Letters. The concert was on a series presented by the OHSU Foundation, and took place in the acoustically and visually lovely OHSU Auditorium up on Marquam Hill.

The concert went very well, and was also well received (which is not always a guaranteed combination). It was also a fun concert to play.

While it might come as a surprise to many non-musicians, performing often not fun for a majority of the time for many of us.
