Street Quartet
Jason Hardink,
Artistic Director of the NOVA Chamber Music Series and Principal Symphony
Keyboard of the Utah Symphony – described by Harry Rolnick of ConcertoNet.com

forget”– joins forces with Fry Street Quartet – hailed as “a triumph of
ensemble playing” by the New York Times. This engaging and unusual program
