ENGAGEMENT
In a typical performance setting, the four members of a string quartet sit in a semi-circle. It is the audience that completes the circle - creating a special synergism which allows for a truly special and memorable event.
As strong advocates for outreach events and educational workshops, we are actively searching to engage various communities in diverse ways. Furthermore, the quartet is dedicated to spreading the values and principles of chamber music to the younger generations of musicians.
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
The quartet has presented a wide range of educational workshops for all ages and musical levels focusing on some of the fundamental elements of being a chamber music ensemble
communication | teamwork | collaboration | compromise.
COMMUNITY
In sharing the incredible repertoire and values of chamber music, we formed new relationships that helped us become part of a greater musical community.
Recent highlights include:
Quad City Arts - Visiting Artists Series guest artists, enriching the Quad City region through performance workshops and interactive sessions that reached over 2,000 people across the region.
Quartet-in-Residence at the Music in the Mountains Festival in Durango, Colorado, forming performing and personal relationships in places such as soup kitchens, farmer’s markets, public libraries, and town squares.
One of the quartet’s earliest projects was working the “Bridging the Gap” organization in Worcester, MA- a program for youth at risk associated with The Salvation Army. While there, the group interacted with kids of various ages, teaching them to use musical improvisation as a way to discover their individual voice.
