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 String Quartet consists of:
Jeff Thayer, violin
Alexander Palamidis, violin
Che-Yen Chen, viola
Yao Zhao, cello
The San Diego Symphony String Quartet is performing a series of concerts this season in the Hibben Gallery of the San Diego Museum of Art. The Quartet is also appearing during selected “What’s The Score?” pre-concert talks (hosted by Nuvi Mehta) in the current Jacobs’ Masterworks season. They are also 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 the new Qualcomm Hall on the Qualcomm campus.)
Tickets for these concerts are NOT sold through the San Diego Symphony Ticket Office. They are available through the various concert venues. (And of course, the pre-concert appearances at Symphony Hall are free with your concert ticket.) |
