Founded in 2005, the San Francisco-based Galax Quartet offers an exciting variation on the sound of the string quartet. Modeled on late 18th century practice and using historical instruments, the Galax Quartet is committed, like its predecessors, to seeking out new works from living composers, presenting them in concert with beautiful and essential works from the past.
