The Mead Witter School of Music graduate string quartet is named in honor of Dr. Marvin Rabin. Dr. Rabin was an internationally acclaimed music educator and Professor Emeritus at UW-Madison who inspired thousands of string educators nationwide. As the father of the youth orchestra movement in the US, his work continues to positively impact countless young musicians to this day.
Current quartet members include Euimin Shin (violin DMA 2nd year), Sahada Buckley (violin MM 1st year), Kayla Patrick (viola DMA 1st year), and Ben Therrell (cello DMA 3rd year).
The quartet would like to extend special thanks to their current coach David Perry, violinist in the Pro Arte String Quartet.
