About Quartet San Francisco
Since its concert debut in 2001, QSF has offered its exclusive and ground-breaking literature to local, national and international audiences in a variety of venues including tango and concert halls, jazz festivals, museums and classrooms. They excel in multiple styles — from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to bluegrass, and gypsy swing to big band. QSF redefines the sound of chamber music: “When the music says swing, we swing. When the music says groove, we groove.” The band members include world-class musicians Jeremy Cohen, violin; Kayo Miki, violin; Keith Lawrence, viola; and Joel Cohen on cello.
