...years now, the Kronos Quartet (David Harrington and John Sherba, violins: Hank Dutt, viola; Joan Jeanrenaud, cello) has been exclusively playing string quartet music of the 20th century, to every increasing public acclaim.

Finishing the concert, the BSO showed a stamina rarely seen in amateur orchestra with Ginastera's "Variaciones concertantes in 12 Movements." Variations ranged from plaintive cello and bass solos with harp accompaniment to sudden Stravinsky-like explosions of cacophony that contained both smooth and abrasive wind solos.

I don't think her character, in the way that she sees her crises, is anything like me. If anything, I think she's more like a composite of many black women that I grew up with--a kind of way of looking at the world which was prevalent in the '70s, which is different...
