RSQ played for 4 shows on QVC last week

The Rittenhouse String Quartet was very excited to return to QVC last week! We have participated in the selling of many products over the years, most recently the CD for the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

This time we were invited by the Bose Corporation, to celebrate their anniversary of selling on QVC. We had a great time going through the studios, working with the very entertaining hosts, and adding the “sophistication” associated with a quality product like BOSE.

Joan Rivers was selling her jewelry in the studio across the hall, which added to the glamour of the event! We played for 4 shows over a 3 day period, and can’t wait to go back to QVC!

The concert on March 30 featuring KAREN BANOS at the Church of the Advent in Kennett Square raised $2300 for the arson victims of Coatesville, PA!

On April 29 Rittenhouse Orchestras played a wonderful concert with the choir at Clearview Regional High School. The Faure Requiem was the featured piece, and it was the final performance of choir director Jack Hill, who is retiring at the end of this school year. RSQ has had a longstanding collaboration with Jack Hill, and his outstanding choirs have been a privelege to work with. We look forward to seeing what he will be doing in retirement!!
