Oregon String Quartet

The Oregon String Quartet, formed in 1982, is composed of four faculty members from the University of Oregon School of Music. Committed to excellence in Performance and Music Education, the Quartet members each teach the undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Music and guide the string program together to create an unusually cohesive department with an exciting and vibrant atmosphere. The quartet performs regularly in the Pacific Northwest in addition to their other appearances around the country. The members of the quartet bring together a wide range of musical experience including years of chamber music collaborations with world-renowned artists.



“BARBER PROGRAM WAS SPECTACULAR”

“. . .getting the lion's share of the spotlight [Barber String Quartet Op. 11] was the extraordinary Oregon String Quartet. These outstanding University of Oregon music faculty members have careers as soloists, yet they also have the ability to coalesce into a stunning ensemble.”
