Quartets usually conduct themselves anyway, and this quartet-a distinguished 60-year-old institution-has recently had direct access to the autograph manuscripts of some of the most important works ever written for four strings: Mozart’s E-flat Major, D Minor, and C Major quartets-three of the six he dedicated to Franz Joseph Haydn.

It’s all too appropriate that local cool kids’ hangout Reds will be hosting one of the most interesting all-ages nights of true progressive rock this town has seen.
Why you need to donate to KCSB immediately, how Sonny Landreth is going to rock Sings Like Hell, and what the town needs now is R&B, sweet R&B. Good thing John Legend is rollin’ thru.
