The Breakwater Quartet

The Breakwater Quartet has established a significant presence in the Victoria music scene since its inception in 2019, delivering performances across various venues encompassing both classical and contemporary musical genres. Distinguishing themselves through an extensive repertoire comprised predominantly of bespoke arrangements, the quartet's commitment to musical excellence is underscored by their collective background in classical music under the tutelage of the Lafayette String Quartet at the University of Victoria. Beyond their classical roots, each member exhibits a profound appreciation for diverse musical genres, rendering the Breakwater Quartet a remarkably versatile ensemble. Their musical range spans from iconic works by The Beatles and David Bowie to contemporary hits by Beyoncé and Coolio.
