The Sullivan String Quartet (formerly Quartet 131) brings together Regi Papa and Laura Jean Goldberg, violins, Andy Lin, viola, and Robert La Rue, cello. Each member of the ensemble has a wide-ranging and impressive career in the chamber music scene. The Sullivan Quartet has performed recitals at Bohemian National Hall, Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center, the Arion Chamber Music Series, Bargemusic in NYC, and "Music at the Museum" in Bennington, VT.
