Testimonials

“It is a rare occasion for our homeless youth to get such exposure to beautiful music… when most of their time is worrying about how they will get through another day of unemployment, food instability, lack of shelter and the risks associated with feeling safe. During this time of COVID, when everyone has been so restricted, having Quadre perform brought additional joy and hope to all of us.” (Debbie Pell, Chief Program Officer, Bill Wilson Center)

“This group of young artists shares their talents and high energy in an exciting and unusual display; a hearty bravo/brava to their creativity and invention!” (International Horn Call)

“Their attention to details of balance, ensemble and intonation is exemplary… Let’s hope they are able to make a visit to the UK soon.” (British Horn Player magazine)

“Your four horns were truly one voice that drew pictures in each piece for me. Thank you for that evening!” (Audience Member)

“What a wonderful series of concerts you presented! The interactive program you designed was engaging and informative, and students and teachers alike were fascinated. It is a pleasure working with your group.” (Arleen Pickett, Music in the Schools Director, Community School of Music and Arts)

“The French horn is like the Merlot grape. Vintners know to throw in some Merlot to rescue a harsh Cabernet, and composers use the mellow, velvety tones of the French horn to create a blended orchestra sound. But the Merlot grape also makes fine wine in its own right. Enter the French horn quartet, QUADRE.” (Mountain View Voice)

“Zaps the myth that classical stuff’s stuffy.” (Birmingham News)

“Here are four amazingly talented young hornists with some very hip music [with] moments of inspiration, sorrow, silliness, love, virtuosic display, but above all: just plain fun.” (International Horn Call)
