The TSQ goes to Florida!


We spent the past week in Tampa, Florida, where we competed in the Rutenberg Chamber Music Competition. We were delighted to be accepted into the finals, and to win the Jeremy Rutenberg Prize for our performance of Haydn's "Emperor" Quartet. We stayed with the Painters, an amazing family who spoiled us rotten, and made some wonderful new friends among our fellow competitors and University of Southern Florida students.

We also found a little time to get away from our instruments! Here's a photo of the four of us at the end of the pier at Clearwater Beach, Florida, which was a pleasant drive across a causeway from Tampa. This was during a spectacular sunset where we spent some time watching flying pelicans diving into the sea for fish!

The next photo is at a miniature golf course where we went to relax after the competition was over! Chris won the game...
