An anonymous donor has come forward with $200,000 to help members of the Audubon String Quartet pay a judgment against them and avoid having to sell their instruments. Former quartet member David Ehrlich won the judgment last year: “Why am I settling at this point? It’s bothersome to me. I don’t want them to lose every little thing that they had. If they can come out of this with something, then I would feel better about it too.” He has said he never wanted the other members to lose their instruments but needed the funds from the judgment to pay lawyers.
