Led by the multi-talented John Zeretzke, these world-class players assembled a couple of years ago at the request of the Music Center of Los Angeles and have since performed in concert and also in schools throughout Southern California.

I was riveted by the consummate artistry, virtuosity, commitment, versatility, sensitivity and the infectious joy of these players. Nothing I could say right now could adequately capture the experience. Apparently, there’s a CD in the works. I’ll be first in line.
