The Parker Quartet

Here at PT, we get to say "we knew them when." Two years ago, the members of the Parker Quartet were PT Artists in Residence. And they've gone on to do great things since then. They're getting rave reviews. They won a Grammy award last year. And their playing has only gotten better and better. The Parker Quartet joins host Fred Child for music and conversation, today and tomorrow in the PT studio.
