The members of the Ancora String Quartet—Wes Luke, Robin Ryan, and Benjamin Whitcomb—are thrilled to announce that Sahada Buckley has accepted their offer to join the quartet as its newest member. Sahada performed as part of ASQ in the spring of 2024 and 2025, with rave reviews. Sahada’s gorgeous sound, excellent musical ideas, and efficient rehearsal style mesh perfectly with the other members’ approach.

Watch for announcements soon about our fall season, which you certainly won’t want to miss!
