The St. Lawrence String Quartet's mission is to play every piece in vivid color with pronounced teamwork and great respect for the composer. Since winning both the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists' International Auditions in 1992, the quartet has continued to build on its reputation for imaginative, spontaneous music making. The St. Lawrence String Quartet is in residence at Stanford University and the musicians instruct their students to "play every concert like it's your last, every phrase like it's the most important thing you've ever said."
