- The nine performers who joined the Meridian String Quartet in this performance of "Urban Scenes", who are identified in the program by their names only, were Manhattan public school students. The website of the composer, Bruce Adolphe, lists this note about the work: "When is it appropriate to snore in a concert hall? During Urban Scenes, when the great snoring solo is performed by a kid from the audience. Kids also come up on stage and play car horns, sirens, birdcalls, and slide whistles — and they even speak lines as actors. All this is coordinated with the string quartet."
