The Heritage String Quartette is a new musical group in the DFW metroplex .
Composed of four young area string musicians, we perform a unique style of music arranged by maestro Roger Boykin. A string quartet typically consists of two violinist, a violist, and a cellist. This form of music has been used by famous composers like Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and many others. Our quartet’s works are short, melodic, and harmonic, following American song form rather than traditional structures.
During the Covid 19 Pandemic, starting in March 2020, Roger Boykin, a jazz musician, began writing string quartets because he couldn’t perform in-person gigs. From March 2020 to June 2023, he composed 50 string quartets. The Heritage String Quartette performed 12 of the compositions at a debut concert held at the Sammons Center for the Arts in June 2023.
Our multifacted string players are some of the best players in the DFW area. These musicians have performed with high-profile orchestras and respected opera and dance/theater companies.
The Heritage String Quartette plans to perform in concert on stages throughout Texas at shcools, recreations centers, museums, and other venues, and is eagerly seeking such opportunities for private events, weddings and recording sessions for TV and film licensing.
