Fritz Quartet at Chijmes Hall

13 September 2007
Today, the Fritz Quartet performed for the wedding of Wei Ting and Ling Fung. They had decided to engage us for their wedding after watching our performance at the Esplanade Concourse in May.

After a whole series of emails and phonecalls spanning from May-September, we finally met on the day itself. It was a much looked forward to meeting. The first violinist had injured her knee and was hobbling around (not exactly very glamourous) but it wasn't about to deter the spirit of the quartet. We were situated on the stage, where we played all 3 sets for the night. Our first set began as guests streamed in. Lingfung walked down the aisle accompanied by us playing Pachelbel's Canon in D.


It was an enjoyable experience playing for the guests, who showed their appreciation with warm applause. We also loved the acoustics of the hall! It was also a really sweet and thoughtful gesture of Wei Ting and Ling Fung to set aside a table for us. Playing 3 sets on an empty stomach can be quite painful , so we were really glad that dinner was provided for us!
