Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula
Concert Series presents the Landmark String Quartet
The Santa Paula Concert Series presents a classical concert by the Landmark String Quartet on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at 7:00 PM at the historic Universalist Unitarian Church, a Ventura Historical County landmark, located at 740 East Main Street, Santa Paula. They will be playing String Quartet No.2 by Alexander Borodin and String Quartet No. 6 in F minor by Felix Mendelssohn.
The Landmark String Quartet changed their name in 2018 from the Sincopa String Quartet, drawing inspiration from their supporters’ suggestions and comments. Their goal is to rejuvenate so-called classical music for newer generations. They want to bring the live music into every corner in the world. Does classical music only belong in a serious concert hall? Is classical music boring? How can we help this generation under the influence of Instant Culture enjoy live music? This is why they renamed themselves the Landmark String Quartet. Landmarks can be new and innovative, but it also can be old and historical. With either new or old landmarks, there’s always a story to tell.
Landmark String Quartet, as the former Sincopa String Quartet, played the Santa Paula Concert Series in 2016. They have also played at many other venues including the Ojai Art Center Concert Series and Desert Hot Spring Concert Series. The members of Landmark String Quartet are from very different countries and cultures, yet they met in Los Angeles with the same dream. Each one of us has his or her own accomplishments in music performance. We are mixed with Brazilian, Czech, Korean and Taiwanese cultures! This factor makes us together as one!
