The plate track

Five plates, one axis — the same move as the timeline above.

A row that scrolls sideways, snapping plate to plate. All five sit in view on a desktop; on a phone one and a half do, and the next one peeks in to say the row continues.

First concert

Brightview Memory Care

Annandale, Virginia · November 17, 2023

Their first concert was at Brightview Memory Care in Annandale, Virginia. The residents’ faces lit up as music filled the room — smiles were everywhere. The quartet returned twice that same school year.

All seven walking beneath a lit colonnade at blue hour, cases in hand.
Pl. 07All sevenThe roster of seven, not a performing quartet

Micaela, Mina and Hyunseo joined the founding four. More players means more rooms, more repertoire, and concerts that can run when school schedules collide.
