ok i just got back from the second faculty concert of quartetfest.. PSQ and Anya Alexeyev. all i have to say is: best fuckin concert i've been to in a while!! seriously, it was awesome. Anya only played in the last piece: Cesar Franck Piano Quintet in F minor. it was intense! according to Christine's blurb about the piece, it's supposed to be romantic and lovey dovey. and it certainly was, especially in the first mov't. the second and third were just more intense than lovey dovey. but sooooooo good!!

the first half of the concert was really really well done as well. not surprisng, haha. the three miniatures (Penderecki, Kurtag and Part), i liked more than the Berg (sorry!) the one that started with Simon's pizzicato was probably my favourite out of the three. yiaaayyy!

anyway... overall, great concert! smiles and applause all 'round!!
