“Rare” might be putting it a little lightly, actually. The Bustan Quartet does not tour. Ever. All of the members are Israeli, and they tend to stay close to home, to say nothing of the fact that the band that they were all once a part of, Bustan Abraham, broke up nearly a decade ago, a victim of increasing travel restrictions and a faltering Israeli economy. Many, many things had to work in perfect concert to get these guys to the Bay Area. This is not the sort of thing that’s likely to happen again. (Marianne Lipanovich, San Francisco Classical Voice)
