CSQ cellist Jennifer Kloetzel discusses final album for Quartet with KDFC: The State of the Arts

KDFC: State Of the Arts

San Francisco and the Bay Area have some of the world's best-known performing arts organizations and cultural offerings. As a listener-supported station, KDFC: San Francisco thinks it's important to let listeners know about activities, concerts, soloists and ensembles coming through the area, and with that we offer you this daily feature - The State of the Arts. Airing on Classical KDFC weekdays, just before 8 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm PT, The State of the Arts is produced by veteran National Public Radio's Arts Desk and Performance Today producer - Jeffrey Freymann.

 

For Wednesday, February 15 edition of The State of the Arts is the Cypress String Quartet - Brahms. Just a few months before they disbanded last summer, the members of the Cypress String Quartet made one last recording, of the Brahms Sextets. They invited their friends, violist Barry Shiffman and cellist Zuill Bailey, and a small audience to join them at the Scoring Stage at Skywalker Ranch, and gave a live performance that was captured on their new CD. Cellist Jennifer Kloetzel says recording it live helped capture the spirit they were going for.
