WORK WITH EQ
"Thank you to the Emissary Quartet for an amazing quartet performance and workshop with the UTSA Flute Studio. Their career development workshop was insightful and empowering for our students. They shared their personal journeys, which included many different pathways one can take within the world of music and the flute. I know this class left my students feeling inspired and full of new ideas and energy to propel them through the school year and beyond. Thank you, Emissary Quartet!"
