Join us for a concert with Kodak Quartet, praised for their "electrifying eye contact and rhythmic flexibility" (Sean MacLean, KING FM), the award-winning Kodak Quartet is highly regarded for their work with contemporary composers on new compositions and for presenting traditional works with a contemporary flavor.
The Sound Garden Project is presented by Interlochen Public Radio.
