In the twenty years since winning the 1992 Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists International Auditions, the St Lawrence String Quartet has cemented its reputation as one of the world’s finest quartets. Ensemble-in-residence at Stanford University and visiting artists at the University of Toronto back in their native Canada, the quartet also tours extensively throughout the United States and is in demand for regular performances across Western Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic.
Known equally for its passionate support of contemporary repertoire and for its gripping performances of chamber music’s greatest works, the quartet’s Hobart performance for Musica Viva Tasmania features seminal works from three of the greatest exponents of the quartet genre.
