Description

The Wister Quartet was named to honor Frances Anne Wister, the founder of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Volunteer Committees. Since its formation in 1987, it has earned high praise from critics and audiences alike for its superb musicianship and memorable performances. It was the inaugurating ensemble of the German Society of Pennsylvania’s concert series, “Wister and More!” in 1991 and has appeared regularly on that series ever since. The Quartet has recorded for Direct-to-Tape Records; its first CD was nominated for a Grammy. It is the core ensemble of 1807 & Friends and is celebrating its 36th anniversary this season.
