51����

The students of 51����, New England, gathered in the Bl. Frassati Student Center last Friday for a concert by the Madison String Quartet.

Following up on last fall’s concert, the quartet was joined by a French horn player. The musicians performed a horn quintet piece by Mozart, followed by Beethoven’s first quartet sonata. After delighted applause from the audience, the group played Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Marquez as an encore, exciting the crowd with its rousing dynamics.

Students attend the conference in formal attire, in keeping with the nature of the stunning classical performance — and drawing the attention of the musicians. Between performances, one member of the quartet remarked that, out of all the places in the world that they had performed, 51����’s students were the best-dressed!
