Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each member of Cardamom Quartet recorded their part separately from home - and this special arrangement allowed them to play "together" without the use of a click track.” Check out the video Lisa produced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xumOD3tdkR0 http://www.cardamomquartet.com/  The opening music is “The Pearl in Sorrow’s Hand” by Julie Vallimont, from her album Dark Sky, Bright Stars.
