In November 2002, they performed additional concerts at the invitation of President Havel and under the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department. The concerts were part of a diplomatic cultural mission to raise funds for Czech flood relief and restoration efforts at Pamatník Terezín. Maintaining a close bond with the Czech Republic, the quartet has returned repeatedly for performances, master classes at the Prague Conservatory, and film projects, including the documentaries “Terezín: Resistan
