<p>A chat with my good friends in the Sirius Quartet, Chern Hwei and Gregor Huebner, violins, Ron Lawrence, viola and Jeremy Harmon, cello. They were in the studio on a lunch break, so I took advantage of the opportunity to get this globe-trotting foursome in the same room at the same time. We talk about arranging for string quartet, their influences from the non-classical world and then I quiz the Sirius Quartet about...Sirius Black from Harry Potter.</p>

Sirius Quartet

For the Greater Groove: The Future of Strings is a collection of chats/jams with some of the leaders in the progressive string playing community. The focus is on grooving and playing rhythm strings, like rhythm guitar. Grooving is the crucial entry point into our popular musical culture and something virtually ignored in traditional classical training. 

Each show includes a "Groove Hacker" segment, in which we take a groove from a recording and recreate it on strings; a Groove Topic/Question for discussion; and a game called "Not My Gig", which is a 3-or-so-question trivia quiz on a subject I’m hoping my guest knows nothing about.  https://www.tracysilverman.com/
