Ed and Jeewon are husband and wife, and Ed runs the concerts at both the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, which I attend on occasion. Richard, half Korean and half Irish-American, is violist with the Ehnes Quartet and a good friend; I can talk shop with him for hours. Erin is Concertmaster (Concert-mistress?) with the Minnesota Orchestra which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Were all holding our breath for her.
Good evening, Publius, and thanks for keeping everyone up to date on the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. ((HUGS))
