Hiro,
I am trying to get the "feel" of this, and I keep coming up with
and "The....." as sounding right in English. But we do say "Boston
University", for whatever reason, as in, "The faculty and students
of Boston University...."
But we would say "The Boston University String Quartet" which is
what I think the CD producer was suggesting for the Hiro's trio.
Universities may not be the best examples, since a lot of it is pure
tradition and has nothing to do with logic. It's "Indiana
University," but "The Ohio State University." Tradition. (And there
is no "University of Indiana," while "Ohio University" is a liberal
arts school in Athens!)
