Alexander String Quartet
Submitted by Jerrica Williams on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 18:25Baruch College has a recital hall. That was probably the most shocking news I heard all year. I thought maybe the concert was just be in a room where they just happened to set up music stands. I had no idea we had an actual hall. When I saw this hall, it actually gave me hope as a Weismenn major. Sometimes the school focuses so much on Zicklin, it seems they lose sight of everyone else. So, seeing this recital hall, I already went into this concert with a positive attitude. Each of the three sections composed of beautiful music.

Submitted by sarasanders on Fri, 11/20/2009 - 15:30The Alexander String Quartet provided a completely different experience than the China Festival’s Class of 78’ performance did at Carnegie Hall. Even though the concert hall at Carnegie Hall was lavish and intimate, I actually felt closer to the performers at the Baruch Performing Art Center. It was the first time I had seen the recital hall and was pleasantly surprised. As I continue to become accustomed to Baruch, I am always finding aspects of the building's architecture that I admire.

Submitted by NLopez786 on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 14:53I was happy that one of this event was right here in Baruch. I was surprised to see that there were older people attending. I assumed it would have been students from Baruch or other campuses. The music was really beautiful. I admire the violin and other string instruments so much because I find it so incredibly hard. Not only do you have to know what to touch but you need to know how to play it. A lot of skill must be involved in that. I also really liked the kind of music. I find classical music to be so calming, yet thought provoking at the same time.
