| Of their debut concert, in January, 2001, Los Angeles Times music critic Daniel Cariaga wrote “The four players produce music both beautiful and immaculate, technically impeccable and artistically well-considered”. Now entering its third season the New Hollywood String Quartet has not only garnered consistent praise from LA’s most read publication but has already acquired, through it’s remarkably active performance schedule, a core repertoire of over 20 works. Perhaps most notable amongst these are the three works commissioned to date by the quartet: String Quartet No. 2 “Communications” by Tania Gabrielle French; “Fantasy on Themes from North by Northwest” by Randy Kerber; and “Wandering” for string quartet, by Don Davis. |
| Having taken their name from one of America’s finest quartets of a half-century ago, the Hollywood String Quartet, these four musicians are likewise premiere performers of their generation in the Hollywood recording industry. In recognition of the remarkable musical legacy created by the film industry the quartet has embarked on an ambitious commissioning projects to utilize themes from Hollywood’s most recognized films as the basis for newly composed “suites" and "fantasies”. The quartet is simultaneously working with a film production company to create innovative music/videos as well as live, mixed media pieces based on these works. |
| In the coming year the NHSQ looks forward to appearing on many of Southern California’s premiere chamber music series as well as traveling to the East Coast for concerts in New York City and elsewhere. |
