Miami String Quartet in Macomb, New York City

MACOMB -- On Friday, Nov. 19, you can see the Miami String Quartet in New York City at Carneigie Hall, for $54 a ticket.  But on Nov. 17, an appreciative audience saw them on the Western Illinois University campus for $15.  Such a deal!

The group played Macomb in a Performing Arts Center series because first violinist Benny Kim is a Macomb native. He favored his home town with a warm up performance for the big time in the big Apple.

They were wonderful, of course.  Brilliant.

Read all about them and the New York concert here, and about Benny Kim here.
