The St. Lawrence String Quartet was founded in 1989 and since then has become known for performing both classical string quartet repertoire and new works by contemporary composers such as John Adams, Osvaldo Golijov, Ezequiel Vinao and Jonathan Berger. While the members hail from New York state, Alberta, Ontario and the Bay area, they are based in Stanford University where they are in residence, teach and host an annual summer chamber music seminar.
The ensemble, featuring violinists Geoff Nuttall and Owen Dalby, violist Lesley Robertson and cellist Christopher Costanza, will perform at Oberlin’s Finney Chapel. Their program will include Franz Josef Haydn’s String Quartet in F minor, John Adams’ Second Quartet, and Beethoven’s String Quartet in A minor.
Tickets for the general public are $35.
