ABOUT THE MEMBERS

Members of the Signature String Quartet have performed individually in international venues throughout North America, South America, Asia and Europe.

In the Boston area, the musicians are active participants with Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Hingham Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of Emmanuel Music and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.

Their exquisite musical training has included degrees from many universities and conservatories in the states and Europe. All members most recently have attended Boston University for upper level graduate degrees.

The artists have participated in summer projects at the Tanglewood Music Center, Julliard String Quartet Seminar, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, Youth Orchestra of the Americas, Roundtop Festival of Texas and Musicorda Chamber Music Festival.

The Signature String Quartet enjoys making music together and giving chamber music recitals in the Boston area.
