Serafin String Quartet Welcomes Violist Sheila Browne
Serafin String Quartet (SSQ) welcomes acclaimed violist Sheila Browne. Browne replaces Esme Allen-Creighton who stepped down after four years with the Quartet to pursue a degree in music therapy.

Sheila Browne has also been named the new viola professor at University of Delaware's Department of Music. She joins both the University and the Quartet from her position at University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where she has been on the faculty for ten years.




Serafin String Quartet is going beyond the family concert to make a deeper connection with audiences. Read more in this All Things Strings article.

Serafin String Quartet's world premiere recording of early chamber works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon was released by Naxos in July 2013.

"The Serafin apply a silken finesse and gritty vibrancy to their duties and members of the ensemble take part in several other works with first-rate colleagues - pianist Charles Abramovic and bassoonist Eric Stomberg - to telling effect."
