I have attended many of these concerts. They have a series with local musicians playing at the Museum of Art, and another with world famous acts on tour (Masters Series) at Fletcher. Usually the final Masters Series concert of the year is one of the "super quartets." This year it is Julliard String Quartet, Sunday March 20, 3pm at Fletcher Auditorium (great acoustics.) I am definitely going if anyone wants to join me we can meet there.
