"I've seen these ladies work before, it's always a great treat. Not only are they fabulous musicians, but great master class coaches, affiliated with the Chamber Music Connection, and, absolutely hysterically funny. Highly recommended"

Excellent in concert

"Just saw the Cavani quartet in concert in Rhinebeck, NY. They played the Bartok quartet #4. This well oiled machine is scary!
They also played the "American" quartet by Dvorak, which lagged somewhat in its final 2 movements, but that's probably because I think Dvorak can be rambling in his romantically bohemian sort of way. What do I know?. But the Bartok-this piece was definitely in your face!! I thought it sounded like chamber music for vampires! You must check these guys (actually 4 women) out. They have been quartet-in-residence at the Cleveland Institute of Music for the last 10 years, so you know they must be very good"
