The Tasman String Quartet was brought to Auburn in February and March of this year for a month long outreach residency under the auspices of the Breeden Eminent Scholar Chair, held by Dr. Howard Goldstein, professor in the Department of Music in the College of Liberal Arts. The residency was coordinated by Dr. Goldstein, the Department of Music, and the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts.

From elementary schools to university class rooms, public concerts to master classes, the Tasman String Quartet delighted, engaged, taught, and performed for thousands of people during their residency.

As a testament to their time here, Christopher Childs, College of Liberal Arts, produced, directed and edited “A Shared Experience”. The video features a collaboration between the quartet and a drawing class led by Professor Barb Bondy - an experience that brought them to the cutting edge of artistic experience.
