MISTRAL
"A new wind is blowing through chamber music . . ."


"Mistral is a precious asset to Boston's cultural life. Its idealistic musicians deliver vibrant 
performances rich in communicative power."-
Musicologist and pianist Robert Levin

"The Mistral performance . . .that opened the program was worthy of one of the
 legendary Italian string bands such as I Musici." -
Richard Dyer
