ABOUT THE NEWPORT STRING PROJECT
As artists-in-residence at the Newport String Project, the Newport String Quartet performs a dynamicconcert series each season and provides free weekly lessons to 45 students in violin, viola and cello. Each of the Quartet’s concerts feature works by celebrated composers alongside masterworks by underrepresented composers in traditional and alternative venues in Newport. The free weekly lessons and youth mentoring initiatives are funded by the Newport String Project through individual donations and foundation support—making chamber music accessible for all throughout the greater Newport community. Now in its ninth season, the Newport String Project’s distinctive quartet-in-residence model is dedicated to building long-term relationships with students, families, and audiences of all backgrounds.
