Del Sol QuartetFest!

 

The Del Sol String Quartet presents QuartetFest -- San FranciscoÕs premiere biannual training workshop for young musicians.  This is a wonderful opportunity for developing young string players to immerse themselves in the art of rehearsal and performance of the quartet literature. Students engage in an intensive weekend-long program of playing and performing repertoire from Haydn to Harrison while studying with the members of the Del Sol String Quartet.

 

ÒIt was a pleasant surprise to us as we havenÕt seen our child that much involved in music before.  Since then, his daily practices at home have improved a lot and heÕs much more serious about his musicÉ.Ó
