I have enjoyed many of the DaPonte String Quartet's summer concerts; each of them impressed me with the excellence of the performance and the warm professionalism of the performers. After several years of enjoying multiple performances each summer (when I visit the area), I've yet to hear the same piece twice. The DaPonte perpetually push and expand their repertoire, regularly inviting other wonderful artists to perform with them in dazzling quintets. But they don't stop at lovely summer performances during the most attractive season in Maine (when the tourists and their purses bound) -- they continue these performances year round, bringing glorious music to the year round residents.
The DaPonte provides world class musical performances to an audience that might otherwise never get to hear music performed at that level. In addition to their work as performers, the DaPonte work tirelessly to bring music to young students, performing and doing workshops in schools. The members also promote music education in the area by teaching private students.
The DaPonte Quartet is made up of four truly amazing musicians. As such, their strong suit is not scheduling and planning, but learning, teaching, growing and performing. And thus, it is imperative that they have enough money to afford to hire a talented regular manager.
