Gallery Quartet in Concert and Conversation

The Gallery Quartet is a classical string quartet presenting works by masters from the classical period to the present. Our quartet was founded over 40 years ago as the quartet in residence of the Washington County (MD) Museum of Fine Arts, performing in the actual galleries of the museum. Over time, the personnel of the group has changed, and our concerts at the museum moved into a lovely recital hall
built to accommodate chamber music. We enjoy the intimate setting that gives proximity to our listeners and lends itself to interaction.

Former President and Artistic Director of the Candlelight Concert Society, Holly Thomas, wrote of our quartet, “Their playing is completely sincere and always serves the music – no posturing, no gimmicks. It’s what you hope for in a performance, but rarely hear. . . Ensemble, sound, style — they’ve got it all, plus that hard-to-define quality I call ‘joy in music making’.”

The quartet performs throughout the Maryland-Washington, D. C.-Northern Virginia area. Our current members are Cleveland Chandler, Keith Colon and Mairead Alexander, violins; Asa Zimmerman, viola; Fay Rosinsky, cello. Please visit us at www.galleryquartet.com.
