StringCircle has been performing together since 2003, and returns to Brannan Center after a stellar performance earlier this year. With its members collectively steeped in a blended brew of the period instrument world and the world of grand opera, StringCircle is a stylistic cross-over quartet with a broad repertoire. Programs include 17th century consort music of England and Germany, and music of Rameau; music of Vienna’s golden age - Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert - as well as Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and Dvorak; quartets of Boccherini and Mendelssohn; and music by Britten, Pärt, and Walker. There has been a steady infusion into the programs of composers who in spite of having been highly regarded during their lifetimes, and often highly influential, are overlooked in the modern concert hall: Cherubini, Grétry, Viotti, and Onslow. StringCircle anchored the Absolute Music concert series at the Friedman Center in Santa Rosa for many years, and has played at Trinity Chapel, Music on the Hill, Disney Family Museum, Emeryville Opera House, and McAvoy Ranch.
