“[Fred] was a wonderful<br />
mentor. He had been so<br />
long in that world, and had<br />
a wealth of life experience<br />
…. And he saw the value<br />
of having a string quartet<br />
teaching and being mentors<br />
for young players. It was a<br />
presence in the country to<br />
get other things going -<br />
that was part of his vision.”<br />
