The DaPonte String Quartet at Waterville Opera House

Not long after forming in Philadelphia twenty-one years ago, the DaPonte String Quartet surprised the musical world by moving from a cosmopolitan urban area to rural Maine. The DaPonte String Quartet has been -- and continues to be -- sought after to perform and teach all over the U.S. and around the world. They have appeared in France, Scotland, Canada, and more than twenty U.S. states. Their concerts are dynamic and their stage manner — with one another and with their audiences — is warm and conversational. The Quartet members regularly share musical insights with their audiences before playing and these "spoken program notes" enable the listener to enter into a deeper connection with the music.
