Group Five: Brentano String Quartet - Wednesday, Feb. 29, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. in Sinclair Auditorium 

"Since its inception in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. The Quartet has performed in the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York; the Library of Congress in Washington; the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; the Konzerthaus in Vienna; Suntory Hall in Tokyo; and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. In addition to performing the entire two-century range of the standard quartet repertoire, the Brentano Quartet has a strong interest in both very old and very new music. The London Independent has called the Quartet “passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding,” while the Philadelphia Inquirer praises its “seemingly infallible instincts for finding the center of gravity in every phrase and musical gesture.”  The group consists of Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin on violin, Misha Amory on viola and Nina Lee on cello."
There are lots of videos of YouTube on them, pick any and I'm sure you'll hear good music!  Here's one I picked out.
