Enso String Quartet (Event Over)

For over thirty years the Mill Valley Chamber Music Society has presented chamber music concerts at affordable tickets prices. The Mill Valley Chamber Music Society presents the Enso String Quartet at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 7, 2010.
 
The Enso String Quartet received a 2010 Grammy award nomination for Best Chamber Music Performance for their recording of Ginastera quartets.
 
The Enso String Quartet (featuring MAUREEN NELSON, violin; JOHN MARCUS, violin; MELISSA REARDON, viola; and RICHARD BELCHER, cello) has earned its place in the ensemble world claiming multiple honors at the 2004 Banff International String Quartet Competition and victories at the 2003 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition.
 
The ensemble formed in 1999 while attending Yale University.
 
The ensemble's name, enso, is derived from the Japanese zen painting of the circle which represents many things; perfection and imperfection, the moment of chaos that is creation, the emptiness of the void, the endless circle of life, and the fullness of the spirit.
