This session shares my discussion with Donald Krishnaswami.  We had our discussion in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio on Friday, October 31, 2025.

We discussed the origin of the LiveARTS String Quartet and the new vision of performing 4 concerts a year. The first one at the Historical Museum, Nov 16 is Free.

The recording runs about 18 minutes, so let’s listen in.
