about the orchestra:
"Fry Street is a little street in Chicago where our quartet was born in 1997. The street was about 20 yards long and it was not on our street map, so we claimed it for our own, laying our artistic stake in the very neighbourhood that gangsters claimed years ago... Now, as our dreams and aspirations about music come truer every day, we keep the name Fry Street to remind us of the love that began our journey, and of our vision for the future-that every little street may have on it a young string quartet that dreams of music and plays for the sheer love of it."
