The ALEXANDER STRING QUARTET has performed in the major music capitals of five continents, securing its standing among the world's premier ensembles.

Since 1989, the Alexander String Quartet has been Ensemble in Residence in the College of Liberal and Creative Arts at San Francisco State University.

Founded in 2013, the Quartet is the recipient of some of the chamber music world's highest honors. Most recently, the Quartet was the winner of the 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.
