String Quartet Performer
A performer in a string quartet must be versatile & possess more than just technical abilities.. A string quartet is a special bouquet of four souls, united by musical ideas, bringing together musicians of different backgrounds & personalities. Bow technique, alignment, intonation, & a feeling of dynamic balance with the other musicians in the quartet are just a few essential skills necessary in a sea of subtleties without which a string quartet would not exist as a musical entity.
