Composer Joan Tower has a new string quartet out, No. 7, premiered by the Cassat Quartet Sunday Sept 14 at Maverick Concerts in Woodstock. It’s named for her late husband of 52 years, To Jeff With Love: and it’s also the fruit of an old friendship, commissioned by Phyllis Feder of Clinton Vineyards and a long time friend and music lover and supporter since childhood growing up in the Bronx. Charlotte Wilson talks to both Phyllis and Joan about the piece and about how this new commission came about
