Music Sunday with Ancora Quartet

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the Ancora String Quartet has been performing together since 2000, when a chance neighborhood connection sparked the formation of the group. Its members—accomplished soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral performers—hold degrees from leading conservatories and have appeared across the U.S. and Europe. Known for their rich musical partnerships and community presence, the quartet has held a long-standing residency at the First Unitarian Society and gained acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Over the years, Ancora has marked milestones with themed seasons, international tours, and collaborations with notable musicians. Today, with the addition of violist Sahada Buckley, the group continues to honor the spirit and joy of founding member Marika Fischer Hoyt through their music.
