The Bay Area’s premiere crossover string ensemble, Quartet San Francisco, was founded in 2001 by classical and jazz violinist Jeremy Cohen. “QSF was born out of the desire to create a genre of string chamber literature that gathers its material from popular music elements of recent decades,” Cohen explains, “still maintaining the integrity and spirit of traditional chamber music.” Joining him in the group are Cullen Luper (violin), Chad Kaltinger (viola), and Tyler DeVigal (cello). “I like to tailor textures and lines that maximize the strengths of the players in the group. I really do think about the distinct musical personalities around me in the quartet, and I write very specifically with my three colleagues in mind,” says Cohen.
