A
recent defining endeavor was the quartet’s first complete Beethoven Quartet
Cycle. A sold-out event with pre-concert lectures by renowned scholar Robert
Winter, the Cycle was presented at Utah State University over the course of two
weeks, offering the audience a Beethoven-immersion experience.
In
2002, at the invitation of Utah State University and the Caine Foundation, the
Fry Street Quartet arrived in Logan. The task was to build a performance-based
approach to a string program in its infancy. In 2012, the landscape is much
transformed. This marks the tenth season for what has become an extraordinary
collaboration. The resulting
transformation is now a vibrant center for string performance in the
Intermountain Region with an emerging group of performers, established and internationally
recognized.
Violinist Robert Waters has concertized
throughout the U.S. and abroad. In 2008, he was appointed Concertmaster of
Chicago's acclaimed orchestral/choral ensemble, Music of the Baroque. Mr.
Waters has also served as Associate Professor of Violin at the DePaul
University School of Music in Chicago and as Associate Concertmaster of the San
Francisco Opera Orchestra.
Violinist Rebecca McFaul has toured North
and South America, the Balkan States, Austria, the Czech Republic, France,
Germany, and Israel as soloist and chamber musician. At age 15, Rebecca spent
the summer at Tanglewood in the presence of great artists such as Leonard
Bernstein and Yo Yo Ma. Rebecca is
an Assistant Professor of Professional Practice at the Caine College of the
Arts, Utah State University,
Violist Bradley Ottesen served four
seasons as assistant principal violist with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
in Alberta, Canada. He currently
teaches on the string and chamber music faculty of the Caine College of the
Arts at Utah State University. He holds a master’s degree from the New England
Conservatory and a bachelor’s from Northwestern University.
Cellist Anne Francis Bayless has
performed in venues from Carnegie Hall in New York to a Maori Longhouse in New
Zealand, firmly establishing herself as a leading educator and artist of her
generation. She began playing the
cello when she was four years old and later became one of the youngest members
of the Kalamazoo Symphony, performing in the cello section while still in high
school. Anne currently teaches on the faculty of the Caine College of the Arts
at Utah State University.
