QUARANTET

Who we are

Quarantet is a music ensemble based in Yorba Linda, dedicated to making a positive impact in our community through sharing music. We recently reached a milestone of over 100 senior home performances over the past seven years, bringing joy and healing to elderly individuals. In addition to our performances at senior homes, we collaborate with local organizations such as the Yorba Linda City of Commerce for the State of the City event and Mission to Promote Adoption of Kids (MPAK) to raise funds, as well as local preschools and the Yorba Linda Public Library. Our annual Community Concert, held at the Richard Nixon Library & Museum, is one of the most anticipated events of the year. During and after the pandemic, we have remained committed to spreading the joy of music with those who need it most and are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Our Beginnings

Quarantet was formed by six friends who shared a love of music and a desire to make a positive impact in their community during the COVID-19 pandemic. As high school students, they were acutely aware of the impact that the pandemic was having on their community, their loved ones, and their own mental health. It was a dark time, and they were searching for ways to assist others and to bring light to those who were struggling. Thus, they decided to combine their passion for music and desire to help through Quarantet: a fusion of two words that embodied their shared experience during this time, Quartet and Quarantine.

The formation of Quarantet was not without its challenges. As high school students, they had to juggle demanding school schedules and extracurricular activities while simultaneously rehearsing and performing. However, as word spread about their mission, more and more people became interested in joining their cause. With each new member, their performances grew in scope and quality. What began as a small ensemble of friends quickly grew into a dynamic and flourishing musical community.
