a modern string quartet with a timeless touch

Blending classical sophistication with a modern perspective to elevate your special occassion


Quartet 515 was formed out of a desire to create beautiful chamber music to uplift the Des Moines arts scene.

While deeply rooted in classical tradition, we believe music should feel welcoming, expressive, and relevant. Quartet 515 was created to move beyond the confines of traditional classical programming and present music that is engaging, accessible, and thoughtfully curated for today’s audiences.

From intimate ceremonies to elegant receptions and corporate gatherings, we collaborate closely with our clients to create an atmosphere that feels personal, polished, and memorable. Whether you envision timeless classics or contemporary favorites, our ensemble provides a seamless musical experience designed to enhance your celebration.

We’d love to share our modern perspective of music at your next event!
