Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to invite students and professors from abroad like we did in the past. However, we started the seminar yesterday with four quartet groups from Japan. It was the beginning of an intense week of rehearsal and coachings by Professors Naoto Otomo, Manabu Suzuki and members of Quartet Excelsior.
