Since 1989, the quartet has served as directors of the Morrison Chamber Music Center at SF State and ensemble in residence of San Francisco Performances. Widely admired for its interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart and Shostakovich, the quartet’s recordings have won international critical acclaim.
Please note: This concert is rescheduled from February 1.
Morrison Chamber Music Center
SF State’s Morrison Chamber Music Center is home to the Jane H. Galante Concert Series, the longest running chamber music concert series in San Francisco, featuring superb, admission-free performances by some of the world’s most acclaimed ensembles since 1955. The San Francisco Chronicle writes: “indispensable.” The center also provides educational opportunities to students and the community including lectures, master classes, artist residencies, mentoring and school outreach. The Morrison Chamber Music Center is funded, in part, by a generous gift from the May Treat Morrison Chamber Music Foundation. Professor Cyrus Ginwala serves as artistic director of the Galante Series, and the Alexander String Quartet directs the center’s instruction program.
