Bio
Sitka String Quartet
The Sitka String Quartet was formed by friends and colleagues in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. After years of playing together in the larger ensemble, and sharing numerous concerts as chamber musicians within the VSO Chamber Players, it was a natural extension of their like-minded musical curiosity, open-heartedness, and a fearless willingness to explore quartet repertoire across many genres that propelled these four musicians to form a professional quartet. The members are: violinists Cassandra Bequary and Karen Gerbrecht, violist Isabelle Roland, and cellist Olivia Blander.
