We welcome a Toledo SymphonyLAB newbie into our midst with TSO violinist Cheryl Trace. Cheryl is playing in a Felix Mendelssohn string quartet this weekend, as members of the TSO gather to play chamber music by some of the 19th century's greatest composers (also including Franz Schubert and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor). We learn all about Cheryl, discuss the composers and their music, and lighten the load with our 19th century pop quiz of the day!
