## Notes

Tonight's show was another short-but-good 'un. I liked Caroline Shaw's _Entr'acte_ best, though the Boccherini piece comes a very close second! It's interesting how far these works all stray from the typical string quartet repertoire. Kudos to Brooklyn Rider for putting the show together!
