"Thanks for making our evening, Alex loved his surprise!" Mike Pettet "Each [quartet] was played with complete concentration and attention to detail.  The ensemble was excellent, the styles well contrasted, and the technique assured.  I congratulate the performers on their presentation...  These four young gifted musicians deserve to do well."                                                                                                                  Magazine and Arts Review of Bedford Arts Forum "Dear Avenas Quartet, Thank you all so much for playing so beautifully at our wedding last week.  Your performance was very much enjoyed by our friends and family and we should be very happy to recommend you to others.  Kind regards, Karyl and Monti"    The Avenas String Quartet  The name Avenas is taken from the tiny village in France which hosted the quartet's debut concert in August 2000.
