Elizabeth Prior, viola; Laura Griffiths, oboe; Krisanthy Desby, cello; Laura Keller, violin

Strobe is an award-winning oboe quartet — oboe, violin, viola, and cello — whose four members have performed on some of the most prestigious stages in the country, including the San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, and Carnegie Hall. The oboe's singular voice lends this ensemble a color and intimacy unlike any other in chamber music — lyrical, immediate, unmistakable.

Praised for its "imaginative and diverse approach" (San Francisco Examiner), Strobe is united by a shared passion for expanding what chamber music can be — commissioning new works, cultivating new voices, and leading audiences on an unforgettable journey of musical discovery.
