The Annex String Quartet is a Toronto–based string quartet known for their dynamic performances that push the boundaries of classical music. Formed in 2008, the Annex String Quartet took its name from The Annex neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. They have appeared throughout North Americas finest performance and festival venues and appear regularly in Toronto's many bars, coffee shops, and non-classical venues like Aroma Espresso Bar and the St. Lawrence Market. To date, the groups primary focus has been bridging the gap between classical and world music. They have performed, recorded, and ventured into various musical styles including instrumental and pop music from Cuba and the Middle East.
