Eidolon String Quartet
New chamber groups spring up all the time, usually without fanfare. But the new Eidolon String Quartet deserves attention because its founder is Franklyn D’Antonio, concertmaster of the Berkeley Symphony, and former member of the Chicago Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. More »

... and thanks, Michael Kaulkin, for getting the word out. Franklyn is such a superb musician. All these composers I know from teaching over at the Conservatory. Alexis Alrich has now left there & is living in Hong Kong. There is some tenuous but nonetheless real commonality I feel with all these composers, who are writing contemporary music that has the best sort of relation to the past ... melodicism, daring sonorities balanced with warm & friendly ones, infectious rhythmic energy ... Looking forward to this a lot.
