Their third all-Beethoven concert of the season at the Jarvis Conservatory at 7 p.m. on May 14 will be their final concert as an ensemble.

The Cypress String Quartet has performed for many years, with Chamber Music of the Napa Valley, Music in the Vineyards, and the Napa Valley Symphony.

Praised by Gramophone for its "artistry of uncommon insight and cohesion," and by The New York Times for "rich tone, crisp ensemble work and expressive nuance," the San Francisco-based Cypress String Quartet has performed together for nearly 20 years, recording more 15 albums and earning a reputation as an insightful and innovative ensemble as it performed throughout the world. 

 

The members of the Cypress String Quartet play rare instruments including violins by Antonio Stradivari (1681) and Carlo Bergonzi (1733), a viola by Vittorio Bellarosa (1947), and a cello by Hieronymus Amati II (1701). The Cypress takes its name from the set of twelve love songs for string quartet, Cypresses, by Antonin Dvořák.
