We always love having the Spokane String Quartet in our studio, and this morning was no exception. The quartet was here to give us a sneak peek of their second concert of the season, which is this coming Sunday, October 30th at 3:00pm at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox. This concert, entitled "Visions of Russia," features music by Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, and Haydn. Quartet members include Mateusz Wolski (violin), Amanda Howard-Phillips (violin), Jeanette Wee-Yang (viola), and Helen Byrne (cello).
