"The St. Lawrence Quartet has had a sort of fearlessness (or naïveté) with respect to all aspects of its life. Any rational musician, when faced with the realities of trying to make a career in a group of four VERY strong personalities, in a small segment of the performing arts world that is crowded with groups of excellence, would have proceeded with caution. The fun of being part of the SLSQ was that caution was not an option. Studying and performing the incredible repertoire for quartet was more than enough of an inspiration to overcome any rational thought about the risks. It was an exhilarating ride!!"
