The Cypress String Quartet on Vivace...

"What's so special about Vivace is that it's all about the students. It was an inspiration to see teachers so completely dedicated, guiding and inspiring the budding musicians at the festival. The students responded in turn with wide-eyed idealism that transported me and my colleagues in the Cypress Quartet back in time to memories of our youth where we had similar experiences. Vivace is truly unforgettable." - Tom Stone of the Cypress String Quartet
