“Working with the Boston String Quartet was a wonderful and inspiring experience for young musicians. The opportunity gave them the chance to envision what to strive for musically and technically as performers.” - Alisha R. (Houston and Collierville High Schools)"One of the highlights of the year!" - John A. (Morton High School)
"I would like to again thank you for having the Boston String Quartet perform at Morton. It was an honor for our students to share the stage with you four. The students are still thrilled by the whole experience! All four of you worked so well with the kids and made it such a positive experience for them and our community. I am still receiving emails from parents!! From where this program started 20 yrs ago (myself as part-time orchestra teacher with 17 kids in the high school) to the program I witnessed Saturday night has just been amazing. I am sure we will be reaping the benefit for years to come. I hope your experience in Morton was as fulfilling as ours was. Thanks again!!" - Pete M. (Morton High School)
"Wow, what a priviledge!" - Aaron H (Cox High School)
"I can’t tell you how motivated our students have been since your stay here" - Andrew G. (Tri-Cities High School)
