Why a string quartet?
You can’t beat the elegance and lush sound of a string quartet. An historical outgrowth of the vocal tradition of four part harmony, which divides voices into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, the string quartet has the capacity to convey the huge scope of human emotions. The violins sing the soprano and alto lines, the slightly larger viola carries the rich tenor line, and the ‘cello provides the depth and bass of the group.
