ST. LAWRENCE SWITCHEROO

posted by James Reel

    Tonight's Leo Rich Theater concert by the St. Lawrence String Quartet and pianist Stephen Prutsman, presented by the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music (of which I'm an officer), has some unfortunate changes. One of the quartet members won't be coming to town, because his father has just died; they've temporarily replaced the musician, but they haven't had time to work up the promised Hindemith string quartet; that will be replaced by something else, but at the moment I can't remember what--nothing so rare as the Hindemith, alas. The rest of the program (a Haydn quartet and the Shostakovich piano quintet) remains unchanged.
