 The Quartet performs frequently for weddings, celebrations, religious services, and gives occasional concerts and benefits. Its members come together with a mutual love for music and the joy of having others share that love. They are happy to suggest music for your special occasion.

 The Exeter String Quartet was founded in 1983 as a result of a chance meeting at a Chamber Music Workshop in Ashland, Oregon. These residents of Oakland are avid chamber music enthusiasts and are involved in a variety of professions: Christine was a middle manager for the Social Security Administration, and is the ESQ business manager. Richard is President of Images Sales, Inc., marketing agents for Polaroid Corporation. Dorothy is the first grade teacher at Corpus Christi School in Piedmont and teaches string methods at Holy Names College, as well as privately. Dan is a health care professional specializing in Orthopedic Radiology at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland.
