Performance and Conversation With The Alexander String Quartet

Spend an intimate evening with the world-renowned Alexander String Quartet at Meadowood on Friday, March 19, 2010. These celebrated musicians will share some of their favorite selections from the most popular string quartet literature in an intimate and informal setting. The group will introduce and perform each work sharing abundant and, in some cases, hilarious anecdotes from their memorable experiences traveling the world with these great masterpieces.

Don't miss this entertaining evening. The Performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. The Three-Course Winter Menu in The Restaurant at Meadowood makes a perfect prelude or end to this memorable evening. Ask your Meadowood Guest Services Representative to reserve your places for you.
