celebrating five decades of marriage

Four Strings provided a string quartet for the 50th Wedding Anniversary Reception of Charles and Linda Draper, held on 26 May 2012 at the Sante Fe Depot in Gainesville, TX.

As guests arrived and mingled, Four Strings performed selections from the extensive string quartet literature of W.A. Mozart.
