Well, it has been over a week since Diane and I attended this concert at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre. This group is from the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music in Russia. This touring group consisted of 2 men and 2 women. The 2 women played 1st and 2nd violin, while the men played the viola and cello. Besides being wonderful to listen to, it was great to watch the changing of voices of the instruments back and forth. Their encore was a fun polka with lots of plucking and intentional discord. During intermission, I purchased a 2006 CD featuring music by Mendelssohn and Dvorak. That CD was actually recorded in Canada and the 2nd Violin player was a man.
