String Quartet No. 1 "Equinox"
Tania Gabrielle French
About this work:
Equinox was premiered in New York in 1993 by the Grammy-awad-winning Angeles String Quartet. Upon hearing the work's West Coast premiere as well as a pre-concert interview with the composer, Scott Duncan of The Orange County Register was moved to include the following in his review: "She feels music can put humans in touch with a notion of beauty, and that it can be a path to understanding an inherent balance in the universe. French not only pursues these ideas but succeeds in making them tangible and persuasive."
