Formed in 2014 at the Zephyr International Chamber Music Festival in Courmayeur, Italy, the Thalea String Quartet has been praised for their "vibrant performance" and "sincere expressivity" (SF Classical Voice). The quartet has performed recitals in Italy, France, the United States and Canada and was appointed as the first quartet-in-residence at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music from 2015-17. They were named one of the "Top 10 Bay Area Quartets You Should Know" by CultureTrip.com and were the recipients of the 2016 Barbara Fritz Chamber Music Award from the Berkeley Piano Club. They made their debut at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC in early 2016.
Their BCP program features Haydn: String Quartet in D major Op. 76 No. 5, Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 3 in F major, op. 73 and a "knock your socks off" piece by Garth Knox: Satellites. Join them for a festive post-concert reception immediately following the program.
