BALOURDET STRING QUARTET (Marathon)

The concert is in memory of Jim Platt.

This energetic ensemble  is on a meteoric rise. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the young prize-winning group is currently in residence at the New England Conservatory’s Professional String Quartet Program. They are as exciting to watch as they are to hear.
