Sundays @ Four: Quartet San Francisco

Jeremy Cohen, violin

Joseph Christianson, violin

Chad Kaltinger, viola

Andrés Vera, cello


Non-traditional in their delivery, Quartet San Francisco redefines the sound of chamber music. "When the music says swing, we swing. When the music says groove, we groove."

Grammy nominees for four CD releases (2013, 2009, 2007, and 2006) and International Tango competition winners (New York, 2004), Quartet San Francisco expresses itself in its agility and standout virtuosic playing. Quartet San Francisco was founded in 2001 by celebrated Bay Area violinist and composer-arranger Jeremy Cohen, a student of our own Anne Crowden! Along with violinist Joseph Christianson, violist Chad Kaltinger, and cellist Andrés Vera, these crossover specialists excel in multiple styles — from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to bluegrass, gypsy swing to big band and beyond.
