  • Bio

    ..We are an LA based string quartet specializing in classical and contemporary repertoire as well as discovering young, emerging composers and pursuing unique collaborations. We perform different eras and genres of music side by side so that both types of music are seen in a new light. A lot of the music we play is sometimes hard to get at first listen but it’s the kind that deepens the more you listen to it. Your 10th listen is more intense than the 1st and that’s how you get hooked...
