Formed in Los Angeles in 2018, the quartet is comprised of violinists Kyle Gilner and Gallia Kastner, violist Nao Kubota, and cellist Allan Hon. The quartet has worked with several distinguished artists including Lina Bahn, Scott St. John, Yura Lee, and Alasdair Tait, and has collaborated with the Verona String Quartet. In 2019, The Zelter String Quartet was awarded a full scholarship to participate in the St. Lawrence String Quartet Chamber Music Seminar. At the seminar they worked with members of the St. Lawrence and Danish String Quartets, and the work culminated in a performance at the Campbell Recital Hall at Stanford University. Most recently, they were invited to participate in the Juilliard String Quartet Seminar, as well as the Rencontres Franco-Américaines de Musique de Chambre, as winners of the USC Ofiesh Chamber Music Competition.

About The Henry J. Bruman Summer Chamber Music Festival

Ambroise Aubrun, D.M.A., Artistic Director

The festival was founded in 1988 by Professor Henry J. Bruman (1913–2005), who sought to introduce new audiences to chamber music at informal concerts on the UCLA campus. The festival is made possible by the Henry J. Bruman Trust, Professors Wendell E. Jeffrey and Bernice M. Wenzel, by a gift in memory of Raymond E. Johnson, and with the support of the UCLA Center for 17th-& 18th-Century Studies.
