New Hollywood String Quartet

he New Hollywood String Quartet had its debut concert in Los Angeles on Jan. 9, 2001 and has been performing to critical acclaim ever since. Inspired by the great Hollywood String Quartet from over half a century ago, the current members of the NHSQ are likewise premiere performers of their generation. Individually, and together as one of the top string quartets in Southern California, they are well known guests at many of the most prestigious concert series in Los Angeles and its environs.

NHSQ, whose “Hollywood” link may refer mostly to its general geographic status and the fact that its members have worked heavily in the film music orbit, was founded in 2001 and is an heir to the respected older Hollywood String Quartet. At The Huntington, the group exuded a refined and luminous ensemble presence in keeping with its growing reputation, 20 years into its history.
