The musicians of the San Jose String Quartet - Robin Mayforth, Eline van den Ende, Janet Sims and Peter Gelfand - bring a wealth of individual chamber music experience to the ensemble. Their engagements include performances with music festivals throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia as well as chamber music studies with some of the world's most renowned artists.

"The prevailing style of chamber music - tidy, meticulous and often boring - doesn't interest the San Jose String Quartet. This group aims to create a fiery, impulsive sound that falls somewhere between the rhythm-driven Kronos Quartet of today and the highly dramatic Budapest String Quartet of a generation ago" -San Jose Mercury News
