The Marvin Rabin String Quartet is the graduate string quartet at the Mead Witter School of Music. Its members are working towards master’s and doctoral degrees and serve as teaching assistants, leading orchestral sectionals, teaching string fundamentals to music education students, and performing as representatives of UW–Madison.
The group is funded by generous donors and named in honor of Dr. Marvin Rabin. Dr. Rabin was an internationally acclaimed music educator and Professor Emeritus at UW–Madison who inspired thousands of string educators nationwide. As an influential leader of the youth orchestra movement in the US, his work continues to positively impact countless young musicians to this day.
To underscore the critical value of supporting our graduate musicians, Diane Ballweg is offering a matching gift of $15,000 to fund the Rabin String Quartet.
