Brentano Quartet
May 3, 2008 by Zach Carstensen
Regular readers of this site know I occasionally wax on and on about my hometown of Davenport, Iowa and its classical music scene. I have mentioned the wonderful chamber music series put on every year by Quad City natives Thomas Sauer and Greg Sauer. Regularly, the Sauer brothers would bring friends along with them for their winter and mid-summer recitals. Two of the artists the brothers brought with them were Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin. For the record, Serena pretty much had to come to the Quad Cities since she’s married to Thomas Sauer. These two are also ½ of the Brentano Quartet. Alex Ross has taken note and written a fine piece about the group and recent series of recitals.
