The Daana String Quartet
The Daana String Quartet is a student ensemble at the University of Washington. As winners of the 2015 UW Piano and Strings Chamber Music Competition, the quartet is the official UW School of Music scholarship chamber ensemble for the 2015–16 academic year, working closely with Professor Melia Watras. The quartet was featured in the summer of 2015 as the Fellowship Quartet at the Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival near Winthrop, Washington. Passionate about bringing music out of the concert hall, the ensemble also has performed concerts in Seattle parks as part of the Seattle Chamber Music Festival’s Music Under The Stars program and the KING-FM Lunchtime Chamber Concert Series and at various venues in the Methow Valley.
