  San Diego Symphony String Quartet
 

The San Diego Symphony String Quartet consists of principal string musicians of the San Diego Symphony. Quartet performances allow these principals to increase their exposure to the San Diego community, and the concerts provide valuable performance opportunities in a chamber setting. The musicians help to raise the profile of the San Diego Symphony as well. The Quartet first began performing as a distinct ensemble during the 2006-07 season.

The San Diego Symphony String Quartet consists of:

Jeff Thayer, violin
Alexander Palamidis, violin
Che-Yen Chen, viola
Yao Zhao, cello

During the 2008-2009 season, the San Diego Symphony String Quartet is participating in an ongoing series of joint chamber concerts with faculty members of the University of California San Diego Music Department. Most of these UCSD concerts take place at the Neurosciences Center, but one concert this season is being performed at UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Concert Hall when it opens in May 2009. Tickets for these concerts are NOT sold through the San Diego Symphony Ticket Office. They are available through the various concert venues.

The String Quartet also occasionally appears before Jacobs’ Masterworks concerts at Symphony Hall as part of Nuvi Mehta’s "What's The Score?" talks. These pre-concert appearances are free with your concert ticket.
