 Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
Sergio Assad: "Interchange" for Guitar Quartet and Orchestra (written for the LAGQ); Premiered at the San Antonio
Guitar Festival. Telarc recording forthcoming in March 2010.
"a resounding success and a tremendous musical experience". (seattlest.com)
"The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote", a dramatic adaptation featuring visuals and music heard in the time of Cervantes,
created by The LAGQ and performed with actors John Cleese/Phil Proctor; Premiered at the Santa Barbara Symphony Guitar
Festival.
"this fresh take on Cervantes conspired to be a clever, zany and tuneful distillation of and re-imagined context for a
classic epic. Mission accomplished".

 The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson
Trio
Ellen Taaffe Zwilich: Septet (written for The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio and the Miami String Quartet);
Premiered at the 92nd Street Y (New York).
"...a magnificent Septet written for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio and Miami Quartet....Here was what seemed like a
full orchestral sound, as Zwilich opened with a quote from her Trio followed by another from her Quartet No. 2...It is an
utterly substantial 26-minute work". (Gil French, American Record Guide, September/October 2009)
