QSF’s performance at the Regent celebrates the release of their brand-new recording, Five by Four, which features Beatles tunes, swing jazz and tango. “We are thrilled to be back at the Regent Theatre,” says QSF’s first violinist and founder Jeremy Cohen. “The sense of history, the great acoustics and intimate space is perfect for Quartet San Francisco,” Cohen continues.
Quartet San Francisco was formed in 2001 by violinist Jeremy Cohen to bring a uniquely refreshing brand of music to the string quartet genre. Since then, the group has been recognized with Grammy nominations for each of their fulllength CDs: Latigo, Whirled Chamber Music and QSF Plays Brubeck. Their most recent recording, Five by Four, is available on iTunes, Amazon and other digital distributors.
