Quartett Giocosa is...

Heather Goodchild Wade, violin

Irina Fainkichen, violin

Irina Naryshkova, viola

Elizabeth Schultze, 'cello

Giocosa means joy!  Quartett Giocosa lives up to their name and reputation by bringing exuberance, passion, and vibrancy to the stage with every performance.  Heather, Liz, and the two Irinas have had the good fortune to play with some amazing musicians including Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, Mstislav Rostropovich, Anne Sophie Mutter, Mark O’Connor, Wynton Marsalis, Sarah Vaughan, Christoph Eschenbach, Michael Tilson Thomas, Jane Glover, Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, and of course the incomparable Jung-Ho Pak.  

QG's third season will be their finest yet! From folk music and the Romantics to an appearance by the Grim Reaper, a New Year’s celebration, and another Intersections series concert considering hope and resilience in times of war, their upcoming schedule is well worth a look!
