LYRATA: THE PROMUSICA STRING QUARTET!

Since 2016, the Lyrata String Quartet has moved audiences with its captivating musicality and dynamic programming. From the fiery depths of Argentinian Tangos to the nuanced genius of the Classical greats, from long-lost folk music to blockbuster hits, Lyrata creates cohesive stories through seemingly unconnected musical works of art. No genre is left unturned and each concert program is as opposite from the last as it will be from the next.

Exquisite playing and artistic mastery are only half of what audiences can expect. Lyrata concert experiences dissolve the wall between performer and audience member, connecting through music, storytelling, history, humor, and humanity. Audience members are greeted like old friends, encouraged to ask questions and leave feeling like part of the Lyrata family.

The members of Lyrata are current or former members of ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, and New Albany Symphony Orchestra. They are the quartet-in-residence at The Refectory Restaurant and have performed in numerous venues in Columbus including Shadowbox Live!, Columbus Museum of Art, Franklin Park Conservatory, and Murfield Village Golf Club. Lyrata does various outreach events with student orchestral programs around the city.
