Explore traditional music from around the globe including Zhou Long's Chinese Folk Songs, The Danish Quartet's Sonderho Bridal Trilogy, and Winter's Leaving by Iranian composer Sahba Aminikia. Join us at Art Intersection to enjoy live chamber music, visual art and sample all that Downtown Gilbert has to offer. We will perform in the South Gallery of Art Intersection, located on the second floor of the Heritage Court Building.

The Tetra String Quartet is redefining the role of chamber music in today's society. With relevance and versatility at the forefront of their mission, Tetra performs with the goal of connecting with all audiences. As both educators and performers, the quartet has toured throughout the United States, Europe, and South America. Invested in their home state of Arizona, Tetra became a 501(c)(3) non profit organization to create more opportunities that link performance with public service. Their strong local presence engages audiences from every corner of the community, and reflects their belief that access to the arts is an essential human right.

Tetras ongoing projects expand access to the community by putting music where its not. In 2015, Tetra created the Phoenix chapter of Azure Family Concerts. These free events are fun, friendly, and engaging performances tailored to those on the autism spectrum or with similar challenges. In an effort to further connect with diverse populations, the quartet regularly performs at memory care and assisted living facilities, the Phoenix VA Hospital, and Maricopa County Juvenile Detention Centers. Tetra has been invited to share the impact of their work at events including TEDx Arrowhead Ranch Act Today, Change Tomorrow, and Stanford Universitys Summer Arts Institute, Why Music Matters.
