Formed at the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Professor Karen Ritcher and Juilliard professor Darett Atkins, The Red Rock String Quartet blends top-tier classical training with an enthusiasm for multi-genre and contemporary music. The quartet's musicians have worked with many of today’s most respected classical artists, including the Cavani String Quartet, Yo-Yo Ma, the Ying Quartet, the Jasper Quartet, and the famed Takacas Quartet, but Red Rock String’s artistry extends beyond classical music, performing alongside Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson and many more of today's recognized bands — our musicians have, on numerous occasions, performed cross-over style at their home base, Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.
