The Lafayette String Quartet perform as part of the Hornby concert series at Hornby Hall on May 23, 2014.
Since 1986, the Lafayette String Quartet has divided their time between entertaining audiences all over North America and Europe and teaching some of Canada�s finest young string players. Their residency at the University of Victoria has been rich in local performances and community involvement. Their concerts in Canada and abroad are hailed as �Passionate, riveting, and with flawless ensemble.� Indeed the LSQ are passionate about everything they do, whether it is performing new music, delving into the great classics, or giving master classes and workshops. Passion and commitment are the hallmark of the LSQ. The Lafayette is the only all-female ensemble in the world to comprise the four original members a distinct rarity, regardless of gender and regardless of profession.
The LSQ�s extraordinary musicianship was recognized early on. Already in 1988, it was ranked among the magazine Musical America�s �Young Artists to Watch,� and in its first years, it won prizes at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the Portsmouth International String Quartet Competition. As winners of the Cleveland String Quartet Competition, the LSQ had the opportunity to study for two years with the Cleveland Quartet at the Eastman School of Music, in Rochester, New York.
