Not long after forming in Philadelphia 20 years ago, the DaPonte String Quartet surprised the musical world by moving from a cosmopolitan urban area to rural Maine. The DSQ had been — and continues to be — sought after to perform and teach all over the U.S. and around the world. They have appeared in France, Scotland, Canada, and more than 20 American states.

Their performances have been broadcast over nation-wide radio and television programs in both the U.S. and Canada. They perform a wide-ranging and varied repertoire which spans the entire history of music, from 17th-century works on original instruments to cutting-edge contemporary quartets. The DaPonte String Quartet celebrated its 20th anniversary and its members are still proud to call Maine home.
