Continuing a commitment to foster and cultivate emerging talent, Texas Performing Arts is proud to present one of today’s most exciting young chamber ensembles. The 2009 winner of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award (for which Texas Performing Arts is an originating partner), the Parker String Quartet has held residencies at both the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Barbès Bar in Brooklyn. A contemporary approach to classical music has earned the quartet praise from fans of both traditional and non-traditional classical music.

It was a pleasure to watch The Parker Quartet. Daniel Chong is very attractive.
Hi,my name is Alina. I was just recently placed in a quartet at my school-A.N. MCcallum high school-and I’m really looking forward to playing with my other members. I am second chair viola in my class,I am a junior. I’ve been playing since I’ve been in sixth grade in middle school,and you all sound so amazing,I wonder if any of you have any advice you can give to a new quartet member? Thanks for taking time to read this!
Alina
