Back in the late 1960s I used to attend Julliard String Quartet concerts at the Library of Congress. Tickets were I think 25 cents each. The trick was getting them over the phone at 8:00 am just when the box office opened as they were all gone within a few minutes. The players were faculty members. At least one violin was a Stradivarius. Incredible musicians on some of the finest string instruments in the world. Acoustics were pretty good too.
