Juilliard quartet slated to perform tonight at Beall The talented string quartet, renowned for intuitive playing, is appearing as part of the Chamber Music Series By Natasha Chilingerian Pulse Reporter The Juilliard String Quartet, a chamber group that University School of Music Associate Dean Robert Hur witz calls "one of the two or three finest string quartets in the world," will appear at Beall Hall tonight at 8 p.m. as part of the school's Chamber Music Series. Cellist Joel Krosnick, violist Samuel Rhodes, and violinists Joel Smirnoff and Ronald Copes currently represent the quartet, which has gone through several lineups since it originally de buted in 1948. Throughout the group's history, it has won four Gram my Awards, released more than 100 albums with Sony Classical and toured in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. School of Music spokesman Scott Barkhurst said the world-famous Juil liard String Quartet is outstanding re gardless of the music on the program. "Their music is some of the finest chamber music ever written," he said. "They play everything. They are eclec tic and talented no matter what they are playing. Chamber music is like a conversation, and they have an intu ition with each other. That's what makes them excellent." Chamber Music Series Director Janet Stewart said the series — current ly in its 36th season — is the only chamber music program in Lane County, and therefore it draws audi ences from Roseburg and Florence She said chamber music can be defined as a musical ensemble free from a con ductor, with three to 16 members each playing a different musical part. "Since there is no conductor, chamber groups have the ability to perform as a unit," she said. "They build a rapport and intimacy with the audience and that's why people like it. It is usually contemplative, highly skilled music." The Chamber Music Series runs from October to March this academ ic year, with one performance per month except in December. In March, the New Century Saxophone Quartet will appear, which Stewart said will Turn to QUARTET, page 10 Idiotic U.S. laws turn casual drinks into forbidden fruit A few weeks ago, I visited a friendly neighborhood restaurant in the Port land area with my family. My wine sawy Italian grandfather decided to order some vino for the table, and im mediately following his request, the nosy waiter glared over at me and Natasha Chilingerian Nat goes to town burst out, "I'm gonna need to see some ID!" I was taken aback by this rude out burst.

After the inter rogating fellow headed to the kitchen, my French grandmother commented, "I can't get used to the idea that the drinking age is 21 here. I think it's stu pid. You can go off to war and kill at age 18, but you can't have a drink." At that moment, I longed to be sit ting in a Parisian restaurant. After spending last summer tasting the fla vors of wine culture in France, where waiters were delighted to share with me their country's love for the bever age, I get a little disgusted when I re member things aren't the same here. I feel that wine is a special complement to a delicious meal, and having one glass doesn't make me an alcoholic. Many minors aren't looking to get drunk — they may simply want to ex perience a refined glass of Merlot. In France and other European countries, wine is considered part of a meal for most people, starting in young adulthood.
