Though each instruments reads from the same line of music for a majority of the piece, the personalized approach, interpretation and other varying factors from each performer creates a depth and robustness unique to that singular performance.

“The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of a nation, is close to the center of a nation’s purpose — and is a test of the quality of a nation’s civilization” — John F. Kennedy, 35th President (1917-1963).
