The members of the Arabella String Quartet hail from around the globe, first meeting at Yale University in 2011, when Causa and Kwok were serving on the faculty. A veritable United Nations of chamber music, they represent Denmark, Australia, Italy and France.

The quartet gave its debut concert in Boston in 2012, and in recent seasons has performed across the US at Charleston Music Fest, Chelsea Music Festival, the Hammond Performing Arts Series, Temple Emanuel Chamber Series, the Alton C. Bynum Recital Series, Mistral Music and the Cosmos Club and Chamber Music Kenwood society series.

The quartet remained committed to its audience through the global pandemic with high quality pre-recorded concerts and live streams, and it also has an ongoing commitment to education and engagement through workshops and masterclasses. The Arabella Quartet’s debut album, In the Moment, was released by Naxos in May 2017 (8.579013). An innovative programme that explores time, place and mood through a series of short pieces, it was named Album of the Week by Classic FM, and critically acclaimed in The Strad.

In addition to performing as the Arabella Quartet, its members enjoy varied individual careers.
