| Sarasota String Quartet
Officially organized for the 2008-2009 season, The Sarasota String Quartet is made up of four first chair string players with the Sarasota Orchestra: Daniel Jordan and Christopher Takeda, violinists; Yuri Vasilaki, viola; Abraham Feder, cello.
Individually, these players have outstanding solo and orchestral backgrounds. (See more about Daniel Jordan on the Advisory Board page).
Violinist Chris Takeda holds both a bachelor and masters degree from Juilliard, where he served as concertmaster of the Juilliard Orchestra. He was appointed to the position of Associate Concertmaster for the (then) Florida West Coast Symphony in the 2002-2003 season. His teachers have included NY Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow and Robert Mann of the Juilliard String Quartet.
Yuri Vasilaki has been Principal Violist with the (now) Sarasota Orchestra since 1982 and has performed with the New World String Quartet and recorded for Vox.
Cellist Abraham Feder, "the new wunderkind on the block," joined the Sarasota Orchestra just last year as Principal Cellist straight out of the renowned Curtis Institute of Music, where he was Principal Cellist and studied with David Soyer and Peter Wiley.
