ABOUT THE LIVEARTS STRING QUARTET

Founded in 2009 by violist Donald Krishnaswami, the LiveARTS String Quartet features some of the Boston area's finest professional string players. The members of the LASQ include Gregory Vitale and Katherine Winterstein, violins, Donald Krishnaswami, viola, and Jan Müller-Szeraws, cello.

Born of Franklin’s popular LiveARTS concert series, the group served as the organization's string quartet-in-residence from 2009 until LiveARTS' dissolution in 2025. For twenty-five years, LiveARTS brought world-class classical chamber music performances to the Franklin community. Now operating independently, the LiveARTS String Quartet is working to build a regular season of exceptional live performances for audiences in Franklin and other southwestern suburbs of Boston, maintaining the high artistic standards established during its tenure with LiveARTS.
