The Hausmann Quartet has established itself as an integral part of the cultural life of Southern California since its arrival in San Diego in 2010. As faculty Artists-in-Residence at San Diego State University they teach and organize the chamber music program, engage in interdisciplinary collaborations with other departments and visit local schools for concerts and clinics on behalf of the School of Music and Dance. They present Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime, a quarterly concert series on a historic ferry boat exploring the string quartet repertoire through Haydn’s quartet cycle. They pioneered interactive programs for students, adult amateur musicians and local seniors, veterans and those experiencing homelessness and continue to administer and direct these programs as their own non-profit organization serving the Greater San Diego area. Founded in 2024 at Lyricafest, the quartet is named after Robert Hausmann, the eminent 19th century German cellist and founding member of the Joachim Quartet.
