Biography

The Cypress String Quartet is poised at the leading edge of chamber music with uncompromising performances and a commitment to making meaningful connections with audiences. Formed in 1996, the members of the quartet; Cecily Ward, Tom Stone, Ethan Filner and Jennifer Kloetzel have shown an unfailing dedication to exploring the masterworks of the time-honored, classic chamber music repertoire with its unique and refreshingly open sound. Widely celebrated for its passionate dedication to the genre and the power of its performances, the Quartet combines technical precision with imaginative programming to create unforgettable concert experiences. The members of the Cypress Quartet play on exceptional instruments, including violins by Antonio Stradivarius (1681) and Carlos Bergonzi (1733), a viola by Vittorio Bellarosa (1947) and a cello by Hieronymus Amati II (1701).

On top of a busy schedule of over 90 concerts each year at venues across America and internationally, including the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, Stanford Lively Arts, Krannert Center and Ravinia Festival, the Cypress String Quartet is a vibrant member of the San Francisco arts community and is dedicated to reflecting and enriching the city’s cultural landscape. This year, in addition to several Bay Area performances, including a debut on the Cal Performances series in Berkeley, the Cypress String Quartet returns to the Montalvo Arts Center to deliver a series of eight concerts exploring the late quartets of Beethoven and the inspirational influence of visual arts on composers from Debussy to George Tsontakis.
