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

A few weeks ago, I visited a friendly
neighborhood restaurant in the Port
land area with my family. My wine

order some vino for the table, and im
mediately following his request, the
nosy waiter glared over at me and

considered at dinner. 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. Around age 14,
