The Quatuor Saint-Germain exists since 2004 and is still composed of its four founding musicians, Élise Lavoie and Hugues Laforte-Bouchard, violinists, Steeve St-Pierre, violist and James Darling, cellist. The ensemble has been working for nearly 15 years in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region (Quebec, Canada) where it develops public interest in works of the 20th and 21st century, which it defends with the same ardor and passion as the standard repertoire.
