in their delivery, QSF redefines the sound of chamber music. Grammy nominees for their last two releases (2006 and 2007)and International Tango competition winners ( New York , 2004), Quartet San Francisco expresses itself in its agility and standout virtuosic playing. Quartet San Francisco is Jeremy Cohen and Kayo Miki , violinists, Keith Lawrence, violist, and Joel Cohen, cellist. As crossover specialists they excel in multiple styles — from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to bluegrass, gypsy swing to big band and beyond . Since its concert debut in 2001, Quartet San Francisco has offered its exclusive and ground-breaking literature to local, national and international audiences in a variety of venues that include tango and concert halls, jazz festivals, museums, and classrooms. In 2002 the quartet began its on-stage collaborations with tango dancers. In the 2004-06 academic years the quartet was in residence at Mills College in Oakland , CA Their Latin and tango CD, “Látigo” (2006), was honored with Grammy nominations for Best Classical Crossover and Best Engineered, Classical. The quartet members are current Classical Crossover nominees for “Whirled Chamber Music” (2007), “…w hat could easily be the most cheerful and brilliantly-executed release of 2007” (Judith Schlesinger, All About Jazz, 22 October 2007 ). For a number of seasons we've been bombarded with requests for a concert with a classical flavor. Our concern was could we find an ensemble that would fit our definition of "Way Cool Music," and without a doubt QSF IS THE DEFINITION OF WAY COOL.
