Arrrrrgh, you made me massively nostalgic for the Fischoff. My quartet went last year and had a blast, even though we didn't make the semifinals (our first violinist had hurt her hand and it threw us all off...)
The Prima Trio from Oberlin won the senior division? Awesome! I'm an Oberliner as of this upcoming fall semester! :) Also, I think I know the violinist in that trio (indirectly--if he is who I think he is, he's my friend's brother). Was he skinny, dark-complexioned, with curly black hair and a Russian accent?

Oh, and I remember opus. from last year--I just adore the heck out of them. :)

Wow, you've been busy! Love all the pics, especially the one with the three of you jumping into the pool.

I heard opus. last month at the Saint Paul String Quartet Competition (for high-school age quartets); they were indeed impressive (played standing, the cellist on a platform), with precise, beautifully prepared, and passionate playing. But they actually came in third behind two Chicago-area quartets, the Ridere (1st) and Zeloso. Ridere (whom I thought were just terrific) blew everyone away with a stunning performance of a dynamite piece - Piazzolla's "Four for Tango."
Caeli, you should see if Seraphina can make next year's competition! Details and photos of this year's are here.

I'm jealous! I wish I had three friends that were serious enough about music to form a good quartet! :) You're an inspiration, thanks for the blog!
