The Borromeo has always impressed with their uncanny sense of cohesion and unity; as a great pianist plays a solo work with complete control and purpose, so too do the members of the Borromeo Quartet subsume their personalities into a marvelous gestalt which brings to life the notes of composers
    —Christian Hertzog, Sandiego.com

Since performing for us in 1994, this quartet has grown in maturity and depth, as well as creating additional appeal for listeners by going digital. Their original idea to record every live performance so as to make it accessible to audiences after the fact, not only allowed for specific memories to be held, but as an acute tool for improvement in the ensemble.  In addition, by incorporating four lap top computers into their performance, all of which hold their sheet music, they can project the actual four part score, in the composer’s handwriting, to be viewed by the audience.  This is a special multimedia experience for our audience, with our small venue.
