I love string quartets in an intimate setting.

My first in-person string quartet was at a free concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Houston, decades ago.
Shostakovich, about a 90 minute concert performed by four women, whom I believe were described as student assistants from Julliard.

I went to an evening performance along with hundreds of others and I loved it so much that when I noticed
an encore performance at noon the next day, I went, by myself.

I was the only person who showed up. I sat down in the center of the front row, about 10 feet from the performers.
They performed the entire program just for me, but this time, up close, I felt the full emotional intensity. I saw the expressions on their faces and the movement of their bodies.

I felt like I was the most fortunate person in the world.
