The true PQ

Letter to our friends

Dear Friends, We hope you have all had a happy and healthy start to the New Year! This month we celebrate the three year anniversary of PUBLIQuartet and it has been quite something to look at how much we have grown over these past few years. A grass roots string quartet starting out on the Lower East Side, we have been making strides toward developing the voice and future of PQ. It hasn't always been easy managing and coordinating on our own, but it's been damn fun and we are incredibly thankful for all of the support we have received along the way. We wouldn't be where we are today without our coaches, family members, colleagues, and friends who all believe in us and give us the inspiration to keep going. 2012 was a year of excitement, change, struggle, opportunity, challenge, development, thrill, and growth. As 2013 is here, we are looking forward to another year of making music together and with much anticipation of what's to come. Thank you for sharing these three great years with us.   Love, PUBLIQuartet

A great end to 2012

We are so thrilled with the success of our 92Y Tribeca concert!  Many thanks to Kunle Mwanga for inviting us to play on his "Four For the Apple" series.  The audience really responded well to our MIND|THE|GAP programming and even jumped in and sang during one of our improvisations!  Those are the special moments we as PQ love -when we have the opportunity to create music together with our audience.  As the year comes to an end, we have two more performances left and are looking at 2013 with wide eyes and great ideas!

We love Harlem House Concerts!

We had a wonderful time at our first concert with Jannina! Our many thanks to Ron Melichar and Lana Turner for their warm hospitality. The concert was an exciting event for us not only because it was great to step "on stage" with Jannina for the first time as PQ, but really because the people that shared the experience with us were some of the most giving, interesting, and inviting people we have played for. This is the start of a wonderful new journey for us. Next up in NYC, the 92Y Tribeca!

PQ announces new member!

We are pleased to announce Jannina Norpoth as our new violinist!

A Classical music empress and rock star improviser extraordinaire, Jannina fits right in to PQ, as she brings with her a shining smile, warm heart, and tolerance for immature jokes. We've got an exciting season ahead of us and are looking forward to another fantastic and creative year of music making!
