Formed in 2007, the Black Dog String Quartet is comprised of some of Vancouver’s finest Classical musicians. The group has appeared on the recordings of artists such as 54-40, Marianas Trench, Bleeding Through, and many others. Individual members have performed live on stage with some of the world’s top acts, including Rod Stewart, Kanye West, Sting, Michael Buble, Mariah Carey, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Video Games Live. All four members play regularly with multiple symphony orchestras.
The quartet’s excellent playing and reputation have landed them in studios with producers like Warne Livesey (Midnight Oil, The Matthew Good Band), Dave Genn (54-40), and Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad). Recent performance highlights include opening for Sarah McLachlan at the SPC Global Conference and an appearance at the Shambhala Music Festival.
Their solid classical background, high skill level, and collective open-mindedness set the Black Dog String Quartet apart as one of Vancouver’s most unique and versatile ensembles. The quartet’s debut album of original songs, A Thousand Times Brighter, was released in April 2023. Black Dog String Quartet’s diverse repertoire will create the perfect atmosphere for your event.
