Galax Quartet: Music from 1607 to 2007

From the creators of the modern public concert—JC Bach and Carl Abel—comes the inspiration for the Galax Quartet. Two violins, viola da gamba, cello— reviving a form of the string quartet from the 18th century, revitalizing the classical repertoire with newly composed music.

Imagine an alternate history of the string quartet: the Galax Quartet — 2 violins+viola da gamba+cello — plays music by Samuel Scheidt (Halle) to Belinda Reynolds (San Francisco) along with Bach’s Art of the Fugue (Leipzig).
