Cypress Performing Arts Association

One of the region's foremost string quartets, Cypress performs its high-quality repertory of classical and contemporary music for more than 15,000 people a year in the Bay Area and around the country. The Cypress String Quartet is best known for its critically acclaimed musicianship and its signature "Call & Response" program: each season Cypress selects a masterpiece ("The Call") and commissions a new work ("The Response") that will relate to it. The old and new pieces are then performed together. Cypress also presents public concerts, workshops, and in-school performances throughout the region.
