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
