Michael Steinberg of the Boston Globe wrote of a recent performance, "A most beautiful mixture of fire and perfect manners. Their playing is finely aware of all those rhythmic and harmonic nuances that delight the mind and pierce the heart in that music, and the pleasure comes not merely from the quickness and precision of their response, but as much from its simplicity and subtlety."

The repertoire of the Sequoia is based on a musical eclecticism rare for a quartet composed of youthful members. Confident with Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann and Mozart, the ensemble is as much at home with 20th century composers such as Britten and Bartok. The quartet plays on instruments from the 17th and 16th century, including a 1711 Stradivarius violin, a 1775 Gaudagnini violin, a 1719 David Tecchler cello and a 16th century Gaspar da Salo viola. "The beauty of their tone comes in part from the extraordin a rily fine quality of their instruments, and also from their mastery of th em," critiques the Tulse Daily World of a 1977 performance by the quartet. "Each is a finished artist and their ensemble playin g leaves little to be desired. They are all young and the group should win great fame ." The Sequoia Quartet's performance will conclude this school year's major music events. Admission is $2 for the general public and $1 for students and gold card holders .
