Penderecki String Quartet

The Penderecki String Quartet has become one of the most celebrated chamber ensembles of their generation. These four brilliant musicians from Poland, Canada, and the USA are known for performances demonstrating “remarkable range of technical excellence and emotional sweep” (Globe and Mail). The PSQ champions music of our time, performing a wide range of repertoire from Haydn to Zappa to jazz as well as premiering over 100 new works to date. Described by Fanfare Magazine as “an ensemble of formidable power and keen musical sensitivity”, the PSQ’s expansive discography includes the chamber music of Brahms and Shostakovich (Eclectra and Marquis labels) and their recently released Bartok cycle. They enter their 20th year as Quartet-in-Residence at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario.

The Penderecki String Quartet is Jeremy Bell, violin, Jerzy Kaplanek, violin, Christine Vlajk, viola, and Katie Schlaikjer, cello.
