Lafayette Quartet Tickets

The Lafayette Quartet, formed in 1986 in Detroit, stands as a cornerstone of North American chamber music. Four original members carried the ensemble through a remarkable 37-year journey before retirement, contributing richly to the Canadian classical scene and beyond. Since 1991, they have served as Artists-in-Residence at the University of Victoria (UVic), where they helped shape a landmark era in Canadian chamber music. Their legacy is preserved in archival materials and ongoing scholarly appreciation, even as the group pursued new generations of listeners through live performances and studio recordings.

Today, fans and concert-goers can trace the quartet’s influence across a broad repertoire—from the complete Beethoven and Shostakovich cycles to commissions from Canadian composers. Their recordings have appeared on CBC Records, Sono Luminus, Centrediscs, and AdLar/Music labels, including the Adaskin collections, underscoring their role in documenting Canadian music for future generations. While official social media for the quartet remains limited, enthusiastic audiences continue to seek news and archival material through dedicated sites and university archives.
