I always used to search out Tanya Huang when I was in the Quarter, but it's been a long time since I've heard her down there.

I admit, I didn't expect so many responses. Thank you because I may make a few discoveries!! I put the Fiddler on the Roof up because this came up on my playlist today and I didn't realize how much it moved me!



Julia Fischer

I'm just a sucker for a string quartet.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason is my current jam for cello. He played for Meghan and Harry's royal wedding and I went to see him when he played with the Louisiana Philharmonic at the Orpheum. I think that was the last time I went. I am in major need of another attitude adjustment.
