How amazing is it to be able to perform for ceremonies? The answer will always be really amazing. And the Meridian String Quartet, www.meridianquartet.com, does this all the time. We are gaining a lot of prestige and have become the premier vendor of a growing number of establishments in the Dallas and Fort Worth area.
That said, there are times when the string quartet members are asked to perform for events besides weddings. Some of these events are just as special and uplifting as weddings in their own right.
This past weekend Meridian Quartet members performed at the Potter’s House in Dallas, www.thepottershouse.org, in a graduating ceremony for graduates of TORI. You can read about the TORI program here, http://www.thepottershouse.org/v2/content/view/276/253/, and here, http://www.wfaa.com/community/Ex-inmates-graduate-from-help-program-85780027.html.

This was an incredibly moving event. People who had made poor choices, ended up in jail because of them, working very hard for a year to turn their lives around…that’s what TORI is. I was blessed to be able to participate in the music making for this event. Meridian Quartet members played Pomp and Circumstance as graduates entered The Potter’s House for the graduation ceremony.
How cool is that?
