We are a group of folks that love to get together and play classical chamber music, particularly string quartets. Rather than be "one of a crowd" in an orchestra, in a quartet, you OWN your part! We are looking for folks that can sightread well enough to play a Mozart quartet without exploding. Events will be scheduled with the pieces identified ahead of time, but one never knows where things will go.

Someone else started another HP group in Winston-Salem in 2010, but it only had a few events. I have purged this group's membership list and have kept this site only for archive purposes. We had a GREAT time for 2 years …
