"The Incredible Flautist." Piston, who is a professor at Harvard University, ia one of America's best-known teachers.
The AJard Quartet will be joined by the wife at the violinist for this performance. Mrs Overda Page has been aseoctoted with the quartet in performances of this work before. To complete the programme the quartet wtii perform some miniatures from Bartok’s “Mikrokoßnas.”
