| Once upon a time, Ashley needed a reliable cellist to accompany her at the dinner/silent auction performance. Ashley needed help. She remembered there was a talented cellist in the orchestra with her. Her name was Heather. She asked Heather to perform with her, and she accepted. After the great performance, they became closer friends and wanted to continue to work together. Soon, Heather's friend Nick, a violinist, needed some people to accompany him on a solo peice. He came to Heather and asked if she thought Ashley would like to play too. Heather and Ashley both accepted, and after a good performance and some fun, we became a trio. We played a lot of music together as a trio but there just wasn't that much out there for two violins and a cello. We spent a lot of our time playing stuff that we'd arranged oursleves from other parts, to fit the instruments we had. Nick had been playing viola off and on for awhile, and sometime along the way, he fully switched. One day, we asked a violinist named Matt to play something with us because it was written for a quartet. We played together and it was awesome! We became a quartet and plan to stay that way for a very long time. After much debate, our very creative Nick came up with our name. The Orpheus Quartet. Orpheus is the Greek God of music... and that seemed pretty appropriate. If you want to visit the site for the No Name String Trio, click here .
