Pacific Rim String Quartet
 
 
 
Welcome to the website of the Pacific Rim String Quartet . The Pacific Rim String Quartet (PRSQ) was formed in September 2007 by four of Vancouver’s top string players. The name was chosen to reflect both the geography of Vancouver and the membership of the group - two of the players are originally from Taiwan, while the other two are from western Canada.  The PRSQ has quickly established itself in Vancouver through its own concert series at Pacific Theatre and in performances around the Lower Mainland. The quartet has appeared twice on Music on Main’s Cellar series, been presented by the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra, Kits Classics, and Abbotsford’s Music on a Wednesday series, and even played for the induction ceremony of Madame Justice Elaine Adair at the BC Supreme Court.  Members of the PRSQ have performed throughout Canada, the US, Europe and Taiwan. Their training represents the New England Conservatory, Rice University, University of Ottawa, University of Cincinnati, University of British Columbia, the Lucerne Conservatory, Boston Conservatory, University of Victoria, University of Maryland, and the Banff Centre.  The PRSQ has collaborated with many guest artists, including cellist Eric Wilson, violist Yariv Aloni, soprano Ching-Mei Lee, pianist Timothy Bozarth, flautist Paolo Bortolussi, and clarinetist Johanna Hauser. The PRSQ’s repertoire is extensive, ranging from Haydn and Schubert to Shostakovich and Vancouver composers Dorothy Chang and Michael Conway Baker.
