Dear Friends,

Just wanted to let you know that I have a show coming up... and it's a somewhat unusual one. I've put together a string quartet that is designed for playing in clubs and bars. We're called the Low End String Quartet and we're premiering several new pieces this coming Saturday (August 23rd) at the Velvet Lounge.

The idea has something to do with taking chamber music out of the stuffy old (and usually too large) venues, and bringing into the modern equivalent of a “chamber music” venue; and at the same time trying to reach a wider audience for “post-classical” (for lack of a better term) music.

It's a special early show – doors at 7pm, show at 8pm. 

I'd love to know what you think of the music. Hope you can join us, it's going to be a fun night,
-Jon
