Welcome to the Haydn and Dvorak Project on ArtistShare.  As a participant in this project you will have a front row seat as we explore the creative process behind the St Lawrence String Quartet and the making of this exciting new recording.  The Haydn and Dvorak project also provides the unique opportunity for fans to play a vital role in the creation of new music by the SLSQ.

Here is what Christopher Costanza (cello) has to say about the pieces:

"Our repertoire will be 2 Haydn quartets, Op. 54, No. 2 in C Major and Op. 77, No.1 in G Major.  We're also planning to record the last published Dvorak quartet, Op. 106 in G Major (he actually composed his Op. 105 quartet after the Op. 106).  Our reasons for this repertoire choice are pretty straightforward: Haydn is the father of the string quartet (the first composer to write for this combination of instruments), and a favorite of the St. Lawrence, especially Geoff. And Dvorak is another natural choice for us, since Scott and I in particular are huge Dvorak fans, at least in part because Dvorak shared an interest with both Scott and me: trains, especially the passenger variety!!  But most importantly, we all love Dvorak's fantastically energetic, tuneful, and folk-influenced writing."
