Strings Music Festival has History in Miami, Florida

The Miami String Quartet


Would you like to go to Florida for a Strings Music Festival concert? Well, in the early 90’s you could have!

1990: Strings had its first concert in Miami, Florida on a cruise ship. At the time, many people from Florida were visiting Steamboat Springs. Newcomers were invited to attend the concert to get interested in Steamboat and Strings.

1991: Strings presented its second Miami concert: The Miami String Quartet performed at the Howard Hughes Plantation in Coral Gables. At this time the Guild also had two branches: one in Steamboat Springs chaired by Gloria Smith and one in Miami chaired by Susan Fields.

We eventually moved all operations back to Steamboat, but The Miami String Quartet has remained one of the regular favorites, returning for concerts in 2000 and 2007.

  1. They look smooth. Not too keen on them wearing all black in the heat though.
