Quartet-à-Tête is comprised of some of the most talented young musicians in today's music world. Armed with tremendous skills and collaborative abilities, Quartet-à-Tête has been the subject of rave reviews including, "...the group shows a remarkably high degree of musicianship, technical prowess and artistic direction..." and "...The players create a near-orchestral sound out of their chamber size with superior artistic sensibilities, clear aptitutde for contemporary music and the ability to take on the highest and boldest of the standard repertoire..." (The Bellingham Herald). Comprised of violinist Annie Chalex, violist Joanna Mendoza, cellist Jeffrey Lastrapes and pianist David Palmer, Quartet-à-Tête brings an exciting and new perspective to not only the staples of the piano quartet genre, but also the many fantastic and challenging contemporary works as well. Drawing upon their collaborative experience which includes The Juilliard School, The Curtis Institute of Music and The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University these young and vivacious musicians are also avid educators teaching at Oklahoma State University and West Texas A&M University as well as playing in some of the most prestigious arts organizations in the Mid-West, the United States and abroad. Currently, Quartet-à-Tête is in residence with Chamber Music Amarillo in Amarillo, Texas.
