I finally got my music for Franklin Pond. I am first violin of my quartet and we are playing Schubert String Quartet No. 13 in a minor, D. 804 - "Rosamunde" II. Andante and Bartok/Serley Mikrokosmos, Ss. 107: No. 142 from the Diary of a Fly.

Other quartets are playing the first movement from Smetana's String Quartet in e, Stravinsky's Three Pieces, Shostakovich's fourth movement from String Quartet No. 1 in C, Puccini's Crisantemi Elegy, Dvorak's third movement from Terzetto in C for Two violins and viola, and the fourth movement from Beethoven's String Quartet No. 1 in F, Op. 18.

Sorry for any typos, but I went about this rather quickly.

Anyways, our first meeting is on the 26th, and that is also the date when we have a masterclass with Mr. Robert Spano. We'll be playing Bach Chorales with him teaching/conducting us.

This is going to be so much fun. We also have publicity pictures for some local newspapers.

I am so excited for you! The music sounds great and I know you are proud to be assigned first violin. I will be looking in the AJC for any publicity and will try to attend the final concert back in Atlanta at the end of the summer. What a great opportunity to work with Atlanta's finest musicians. Congrats.
