From street corners and elementary schools and all the way to The Kennedy Center, Boston Public Quartet (BPQ) performs throughout the East Coast offering fluid and relevant pieces for each occasion. At Hendricks Chapel of Syracuse University, this acclaimed piano and strings chamber ensemble will present an exciting and eclectic program of music by women composers from Mel Bonis to Jessie Montgomery.
Serving as the Resident Ensemble of MusiConnects until 2018, the Boston Public Quartet emerged as a stand-alone ensemble in 2021. New England Conservatory alumna Betsy Hinkle merges music with empowerment through community-focused musical programming. In 2007 Hinkle founded MusiConnects, a nonprofit which offers an education in music to underserved communities in the Boston area.
After several years as a teacher, she sought to use her experience to craft a unique curriculum for neighborhoods often excluded from fine art training. Prioritizing empathy, equity and excellence, the teachings are referred to as the Hinkle Approach. Maintaining Betsy Hinkle’s vision, the Quartet participates in programs which lower the financial burdens of experiencing classical arts.
BPQ Band members:

Betsy Hinkle, violinist and founder
Jason Amos, viola
Grant Houston, violin
Joy Cline Phinney, piano
Nicholas Johnson, cello
