For over a decade, the Cassatt String Quartet has collaborated with the composer Gerald Cohen. "Telling stories through music is central to all I do as a composer and performer - most explicitly in my operas and vocal works, but also in purely instrumental works such as those on this album," said Gerald Cohen. "This album is the culmination of the voyage I have taken with the Cassatt String Quartet during the past decade. I will always be grateful for the collaboration with these wonderful colleagues."
