Terra String Quartet: The Art of Listening Together (Part I)

In this first part of a two-part conversation, host Anna Gray speaks with violinist Harriet Langley and cellist Audrey Chen of the Terra String Quartet.

They share the story of how the quartet came together, the meaning behind their name, and what it takes to build an ensemble rooted in communication, trust, and collaboration. The conversation also explores their approach to storytelling in chamber music, both on stage and in the programs they create.

Looking beyond the music itself, they reflect on what chamber music can offer in today’s world, and how it can foster connection, empathy, and shared understanding.

The Terra String Quartet will make their Rhode Island debut at the Kingston Chamber Music Festival this summer, performing July 24–26. Learn more and purchase tickets here!
