Cypress Performing Arts Association

Mission Statement

The Cypress Performing Arts Association, through its resident ensemble, the Cypress String Quartet, is dedicated to achieving the highest level of performance and to presenting music as an ongoing process of inspiration. By exploring the classic string quartet repertoire as well as by commissioning and championing works by contemporary American composers the Cypress Performing Arts Association presents new American music in innovative ways, making it accessible to traditional audiences as well as creating new audiences. These goals have been achieved since the organization's inception in 1995, through nationwide touring and extensive educational programs.
