<div>Hi Nick,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bryan Kolk gave me your email, as I am a member of MASTA and also the director of Career Services and Music Entrepreneurship at the MSU College of Music.</div>

<div>My program at MSU is bringing the innovative string quartet <a href="http://brooklynrider.com" target="_blank">Brooklyn Rider
</a>for a residency and concert on November 30-December on MSU’s campus in East Lansing. I wanted to make sure that MASTA members were aware of the residency and concert, since we don’t often have this caliber of string quartet here in Mid Michigan, and ask
you to share the information with the MASTA list serv as appropriate.</div>
</div>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The quartet will be doing several masterclasses on November 30: a chamber music masterclass from 1:30-3:30 in Cook Recital Hall, and a new student composition reading in Cook from 7:30-9:30 PM.</div>
