About the Glass House String Quartet
The Glass House String Quartet unites four longtime friends and collaborators — violinists Allion Salvador and Vanessa Moss, violist Gerald Liu, and cellist Lauren McShane — whose shared history spans a decade of music-making across the Pacific Northwest, including performances as members of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra.
Their name honors the Glass House of Fern Grove on Vashon Island, a striking architectural space designed by Seth Grizzle and owned by Ruth True, where the quartet gave their first performance. With the Puget Sound to one side and forest on the other, that glowing space became both a home for the ensemble: a meeting place of artistry, friendship, and the natural world.
Performances of Glass House invite the audience to join them in the intimacy of chamber music. They create artistic experiences celebrating small communities, the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and the love of family.
Collectively, the members of the Glass House String Quartet perform with orchestras across Washington and beyond, teach and mentor the next generation of musicians, and champion chamber music as a space for shared listening and genuine human connection. Whether in a concert hall, a woodland glasshouse, or a small community gathering, their performances invite audiences into that same spirit of light, reflection, and joy.
