Contact Sierra Quartet

In order to contact Sierra Quartet, you'll need an approved host account.

One day in 2018, Bay Area natives Elbert Tsai, Rochelle Nguyen, Christina Simpson, and James Jaffe got together to read quartets. After an improbably successful reading of Schubert's huge G Major Quartet, Elbert asked, "Do you guys like to rehearse?"

The group began rehearsing regularly, developing a shared musical taste and sharing it with audiences in California and France. They chose their name at a retreat in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Traditional Repertoire

New: Jesse Montgomery, Caroline Shaw, Alexandra Bryant
Classic: Beethoven, Haydn, Dvořák, Janáček, Schumann, Schubert
