The quartet has been the live ensemble of choice to entertain the Governor of California, mayors of Lodi sister cities Kofu (Japan) and Lodi (Italy), Colin Powell, Denis Waitley, Barbara Bush, Steve Martin, Charlton Heston, and perhaps most importantly, the thousands of associates, special friends and relatives attending business, social and private events. While the majority of performances occur locally in the San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties, the Nouveaux Arts String Quartet has been hired to perform as far south as Snelling, as far west as Maxwell’s Plum and The Carnelian Room in San Francisco, and in the Sierras and foothills at some of the loveliest event sites in California. Originally formed and named in 1979 at the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music to enhance public image and public outreach, Nouveaux Arts has become the most organized and experienced ensemble of its genre in the area.
