The first string quartet to serve as artists-in-residence at a major American university is the Pro Arte Quartet, which came to the UW-Madison in the 1950s, an appointment that continues to this day. Originally founded in 1911-12 by students at the Brussels Conservatory, the Pro Arte quartet was celebrating its centennial anniversary when University Place Presents first broadcast this interview and performance in May 2011. You can watch University Place--a virtual lecture hall with presentations on science, economics, environment, conservation, public education, health, art, culture and more--on WPT's Wisconsin Channel.
