The quartet originated as an ensemble at the Juilliard School and has received coaching from prominent figures such as Joel Krosnick, Joseph Lin, Astrid Schween, Laurie Smukler, Joseph Kalichstein, Roger Tapping, Misha Amory, and many others.

Guitarist Paul GalbraithMarch 24, 2026 7:30 p.m.
Paul Galbraith is internationally recognized as one of the leading guitarists of our time. His revolutionary approach to guitar playing has made him a distinctive figure in classical music. Still, it is ultimately his wide range of interpretations that has captivated audiences around the world. Paul performs on a unique 8-string guitar that he developed in 1993 with the renowned luthier David Rubio. To differentiate it from traditional 8-string guitars, Rubio named it the "Brahms Guitar," reflecting his appreciation for the instrument's rich sound and broad range, especially in the music of Brahms, which Paul transcribed and performed in his rendition of the Op. 21a Variations. On this instrument, Paul has recorded a series of critically acclaimed albums, most notably Bach's complete Solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas, which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998. Early in his career, at the age of 20, Paul devised a unique guitar posture after extensive exploration of technique. He discovered a playing position that allowed equal freedom of movement for both arms, which eventually evolved into the cellist's posture he is known for today. Paul began performing publicly in his late teens, gaining attention in Great Britain through a series of successes in televised competitions. Since then, he has toured extensively across the European Union, as well as in China, South America, Russia, Norway, Australia, Canada, and India. Since the early 1990s, he has regularly toured throughout the USA. Paul has collaborated with several of the leading orchestras and ensembles in Britain and Europe, including the BBC Orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic, the St. Petersburg Quartet, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Halle Orchestra, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the European Chamber Orchestra, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and the Shanghai Quartet. Most recently, he has formed a duo with the legendary Brazilian cellist, Antonio Meneses.

But the undeniable serenity Koalas evoke when watching them from a distance makes their existence ever important.
