For almost a decade the players of the Mendelssohn Quartet were artists in residence at Harvard University. This residency naturally gave them a great familiarity with the 'Harvard' composers. Harvard University has played an important role in contemporary music in the USA. This is a disc, which will provide a host of new insights into the tradition of music in America.
