Violinist Erika Blanco and violist Benjamin Davis of the Lux String Quartet sat down with Julie Amacher to talk about using their Class Notes Artist performance to teach the importance of collaboration in group.

  • Carlos Gardel: Tango "Por una cabeza"

  1. Danish folk song (arr. the Danish String Quartet): Ye Honest Bridal Couple

Through collaboration using the string quartet as an example, we demonstrate how in a quartet or in a classroom or in a lunch line it's important to be respectful and kindly to each other.
