About

Comprised of violinists Sommer Altier and Judith Kim, violist Sydney Link and cellist Amelia Smerz, the Trillium String Quartet formed in September 2022. Trillium is the Graduate Quartet in Residence at Montclair State University and members of the group hold performance degrees from renowned music schools including the Cleveland Institute of Music, Mannes School of Music, and McGill University. Trillium has worked with members of the Attacca, Lark, Aizuri and Harlem Quartets, and performed in concert alongside artists such as the Attacca Quartet and Bela Fleck. We are passionate about performing music in our communities, valuing education and outreach as a foundation for increasing access to the arts. The quartet holds masterclasses, free concerts and presentations through its various partnerships with Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO), Music for All Seasons and private studios in the area. TSQ seeks to form genuine connections with their music and their audiences.
