San Francisco Performances has a highly regarded record of discovering and introducing the next generation of great stars-often in their Bay Area and West Coast debuts. The Telegraph Quartet who were winners of the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 2016, are now in residence at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Their program contains works by Schuloff, Dvorak, and Weinberg.
The Telegraph Quartet was formed in 2013 with an equal passion for the standard chamber music repertoire as well as contemporary and non-standard repertoire, alike. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2017 as "...an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape" and "powerfully adept...with a combination of brilliance and subtlety," the Telegraph Quartet was most recently awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award. Past prizes include the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The Quartet has since gone on to perform in concert halls, music festivals, and academic institutions from Los Angeles and New York to Italy and Taiwan, including Carnegie Hall, San Francisco's Herbst Recital Hall and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Chamber Masters Series and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. In 2016, the Quartet was invited as one of a handful of emerging professional string quartets from around the world to perform in Paris, France at the Biennale de quatuors a cordes, a showcase for major concert presenters of Europe and Asia taking place at the Philharmonie de Paris.
Beyond the concert stage, the Telegraph Quartet seeks to spread its music through education and audience engagement. In the Fall of 2017, the Quartet traveled to communities and schools in Maine with Yellow Barn's Music Haul, a mobile performance stage that brings music literally outside of the concert hall to communities across the U.S.
