Thalea String Quartet

The Faculty of Music String Area is thrilled to welcome the Thalea String Quartet to our school during the 2024-2025 academic year as part of our ongoing Stewart String Quartet in Residence program. The Thaleas will work with our students in a variety of settings, including two public masterclasses this fall, and a concert performance on February 6th in Walter Hall.  The group brings a wealth of experience and a presence that will be of great benefit for our community.
