The Town Quartet

Please join us at the Mazza Castle for an evening of beautiful chamber music with The Town Quartet

The Town Quartet was formed in Oakland, CA, in 2011 as a fusion of four musicians and their love of chamber music. The current roster (since 2012) includes violinists Mia Bella D’Augelli and Corey Mike, violist Jacob Hansen-Joseph, and cellist Lewis Patzner.

For the Town Quartet, playing as a quartet is about fun, friendship, performing music they love in a way that makes them proud, and improving as individual players and as a group. Since its inception, the Town Quartet has held a weekly Sunday afternoon residency at the Musical Offering Café in Berkeley. Performing in casual settings like this, as well as presenting formal concerts, has allowed them to showcase their work with pieces from the 17th century to the present.

The quartet has worked with faculty at Mills College and CSU San Francisco, has served as quartet-in-residence at CSU Chico, and often performs music of local, living composers as well as unearthing rarely played string quartets. They also enjoy collaborations with presenters such as the Distinguished Artists Classical Music Concert and Lecture Series in Santa Cruz, San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music at The Legion of Honor Museum, and the Opus Series in Mendocino. The Town Quartet occasionally produces its own concerts at various venues in the area, including Vessel Gallery and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Oakland, and the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley.
