San Francisco Performances’ enduringly popular Saturday Morning series is presided over with lively commentary by Dr. Robert Greenberg, and, this season, we welcome the fresh voices of the acclaimed Esmé Quartet as our Ensemble-in-Residence. SF Performances audiences are familiar with the dynamic energy of the Esmé Quartet from past season appearances, and we look forward to hearing them in the course of a four-concert series focusing on Schubert.

Our Saturday Morning series combines full performances of chamber music works with unique insights, humor, history, and juicy backstory from Dr. Robert Greenberg, who is marking his 25th anniversary as our esteemed Music Historian-in-Residence this season.

Praised for their warm sound and powerful presence, the Esmé Quartet was formed in 2016 at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, Germany by four musicians who had been friends since their youth. The Quartet has rapidly gained a worldwide reputation as a chamber ensemble of exceptional artistry and achievement.
