quotes["Pamela_Coats"] = new Array(
"For me, chamber music is the most effective way to "+
"have an opinion and know that it counts but it's not the only one that "+

"of being expressed in words.",
"-- Pamela Coats, clarinet");

quotes["Keri_Godon"] = new Array(
"I adore chamber music for its ability to draw us deeply into the heart and "+

quotes["Joanna_Messer"] = new Array(
"The vulnerability of live performance, of musicians playing together in small "+
"groups is what appeals to me most about being a chamber musician. Daring to "+
"expose myself in such an intimate way in front of a group of people without an "+
"army of orchestral fellows surrounding me - there is no greater form of expression, "+

"to their audience. It is a dialogue that anyone from any background can see and feel.",

quotes["Karin_Bliznik"] = new Array(
"Music is a form of communication which is ineffable.",
"-- Karin Bliznik, trumpet");

quotes["Sean_Whitaker"] = new Array(
