The Portland String Quartet has had an enormous impact locally, regionally and internationallysince its inception in 1969. Beginning as The Portland Symphony String Quartet (PSSQ), the quartet members became not only principal players in the Portland Symphony Orchestra, they established teaching studios, schoolmusic positions and chamber music concerts serving the greater Portland area and the State of Maine full time. This became a model for orchestras the size of the PSO nationwide.
