Blending classical technique with modern hits, Dallas String Quartet uses both electric and traditional string instruments to create an unforgettable genre-defying experience. From Beethoven to Beyoncé, this high-energy performance reimagines what a string quartet can do — and leaves audiences of all ages amazed.
Dallas String Quartet was founded in 2007 by composer and violist Ion Zanca. A fusion of contemporary classical and pop music, the group is known for its eclectic renditions. Dallas String Quartet has performed for Presidents Obama and Bush, with superstars like Ed Sheeran, Luke Combs and Ashley McBryde, at the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM Awards), for NBA and NFL organizations and their cover of Katy Perry’s “Firework” was featured on the most recent season of American Idol.
The group is composed of violist Ion Zanca, violinists Valory Hight and Melissa Priller, bassist Young Heo, guitarist Joel White and percussionist Efren Guzman.
