Quartet New Generation
Quartet New Generation is made up of four young women from Germany who play recorders. They play everything from the Renaissance to the avant garde. They sometimes even put on platinum wigs and play techno dance music. The Quartet New Generation stopped by the PT studios recently for music and conversation with PT host Fred Child. They'll play works by Handel and Minnesota composer Mary Ellen Childs.
