Review for Friends of the Daponte String Quartet, Demariscotta, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

One might expect a chamber music group to appeal opnly to an elite audience; nothing could be further from the truth with this group. In addition to bringing world-class performances to mid-coast Maine where there are no other serious musical opportunities, they are regularly in schools, rest homes and with veterans' groups, in pursuit of theeir mission to expand the reach of music. My particular admiration for them is that they also teach--even those of us who come much too late in life to hope for real success, but who have always dreamt of playing.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

...realizing a life-long dream to study music, and seeing the effect that a group of committed musicians hqave on the community in which they work

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

...make it possible fior them to tour and record more. A recent recording would demonstrate their musical skills to you, and the ability to tour would both deservedly broaden their audience and give them access to mujsicakl inspiration and musicological research materials that are not avaiklable here

Role:  Client Served & I never miss a concert and I study with a quartet member.
