Meridian String Quartet performs music in Dallas for church

Meridian String Quartet members, www.meridianquartet.com, took part in a special ceremony this past weekend to honor the graduates of TORI, Texas Offenders Re-entry Initiative. Read about the TORI program here: http://www.thepottershouse.org/v2/content/view/276/253/. The event took place at the Potter's House, www.thepottershouse.org this past Sunday. TORI graduated 150 past Texas Offenders. Many important officials and caring people were there in support of these hardworking graduates.

It is times like these I get reminded how wonderful it is to play music and take part in a special event. These are life-changing events that I am honored to play in and witness a powerful moment in people's lives. This feeling is very similar when the Meridian Quartet plays at weddings in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. We have a very special time in a person's or people's lives and we are able to express the emotions of this event through music. It's a very special moment and a privilege for the Meridian Quartet to take part in events like these.

In upcoming news, the Meridian Quartet will be performing again with the Las Colinas Symphony next week with a distinguished guest conductor. Quartet members will be performing Beethoven's 7th Symphony! Can't wait! www.lascolinassymphony.org
