 The Wyeth String Quartet was formed in 2004 when their mutual joy and passion for great quartet literature was unleashed. Comprised of the orchestra's principal string players and formerly known as the Fort Worth Symphony String Quartet, the ensemble changed its name in 2011. Our mission is to bring great string quartet literature to life for audiences both young and old. The new name Wyeth String Quartet was taken from the group's love for the paintings of the Wyeth family of artists and musicians. The Wyeth Sring Quartet will perform on the 2011-2012 Bancroft Family Concerts.
