Alexander String Quartet

• Zakarias Grafilo: violin;
• Frederick Lifsitz: violin;
• Sandy Wilson: cello;
• Paul Yarbrough: viola.

• Andrew Duckles: viola.

• Robert Greenberg: lecturer.

A fun lecture as usual, and exquisite playing from the quartet. Would have been nice to be more fully conscious of the event, but coming on the heels of a festive Fillmore show and a short night's sleep, semiconscious seems pretty good!
