Quartet San Francisco
Friday, October 14, 2016, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
A Grammy nominee for its last three CD releases and the 2004 International Tango competition winner, Quartet San Francisco expresses itself in its agility and standout virtuosic playing. Celebrated Bay Area violinist and composer-arranger Jeremy Cohen founded Quartet San Francisco in 2001. He is joined by violinist Matthew Szemela, violist Chad Kaltinger and cellist Andres Vera. As a crossover specialist, the quartet excels in multiple styles -- from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to bluegrass, gypsy swing to big band and beyond. This recital is part of the School of Music's Emerging Artists Residency. Free.
