<\/a>These four musicians, with their diverse and colorful backgrounds, came together through the
\nauspices of the Theater Chamber Players, and rather unexpectedly discovered the joys of a
\nvibrant and enthusiastic collaboration. They have been The Left Bank Quartet since 1999, taking
\ntheir name from the fact that the Kennedy Center, their first regular venue, is situated on the left
\nbank of the Potomac River. Their combined experiences include participation in the major
\nfestivals of the musical world – Aspen, Banff, Chautauqua, Marlboro, Mostly Mozart, Prussia
\nCove, Ravinia, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Tanglewood and Yellow Barn, to name just a few. Their
\nteaching experiences, collaborations, national and international tours, recital and concerto
\nperformances, and success in international competitions give this quartet a rich and varied
\ntapestry as they weave their musical message. Compositions written for and premiered by the
\nquartet include Mark Wilson\u2019s Time Variations, (Capstone Records ) and String Quartet No. 4 by
\nLawrence Moss, recently released on the Innova label. Gramaphone Magazine\u2019s review praised
\nthe composition for its \u201ccharm\u201d and \u201cdazzle,\u201d stating, \u201cMoss uses the instruments with idiomatic
\nmastery, ranging from kittenish endearments to electric flashes of energy . . . played by the Left
