Seattle Quartet was born out of a shared creative passion among professional classical musicians seeking an outlet beyond the traditional concert stage. Today, we bring that same spirit of artistry and innovation to every performance—as the main quartet for Seattle’s Fever Candlelight Concerts, to private and corporate events, to weddings and proposals. We create experiences that are both elegant and emotionally resonant, blending timeless repertoire with fresh, imaginative interpretations.

Beyond Candlelight Concerts, Seattle Quartet partnered with Lotte Hotel in Downtown Seattle to design an elevated concert-and-dining series, thoughtfully pairing Charlotte Restaurant’s seasonal menus with curated musical programs. The quartet now joins forces with the Fairmont Olympic Hotel to present a new performance series beginning in early 2026.

Seattle Quartet is a collective of professional, classically trained musicians based in the Pacific Northwest. Our members perform regularly with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the Pacific Northwest Ballet, and other leading ensembles across the nation, and have taught at renowned institutions like University of Washington.
