The St. Lawrence String Quartet
The St. Lawrence String Quartet is a Canadian string quartet, and one of Canada’s premiere chamber ensembles. Its mission: bring every piece of music to the audience in vivid color, with pronounced communication and teamwork, and great respect to the composer. Since winning both the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists International Auditions in 1992, the quartet has delighted audiences with its spontaneous, passionate, and dynamic performances. Alex Ross of The New Yorker magazine writes, “The St. Lawrence are remarkable, not simply for the quality of their music making, exalted as it is, but for the joy they take in the art of connection.” They have served residencies at the Julliard School, Yale University, the University of Toronto, the University of Hartford, and Stanford University.
