The quartet can be found on Facebook.
Saratoga Arts made this program possible through the Community Arts Regrant Program, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. The series is co-sponsored by the Village of Ballston Spa and the American Federation of Musicians and Musicians Performance Trust Fund.
