Our Mission:
Within the depths of the high school drama a high school student can get themselves into and all the academic workload or pressure one shoulders, Songbird Quartet was created in hopes to remember our own personal goals. Our work relieves the stress of every day lives and allows musicians like us to focus on something we're all passionate about; creating music. Violinist Connor Yang shares our work puts "...something out there as opposed to only consuming what others produce". We soon realized music, live music especially has the ability to bring together a diverse group of people. Our mission is to offer music that heals and connects everyone, and we hope our work can enter a positive impact into your life.
Kiyone Tsuchida - Violist/Founder
"I'm a student at EHS and also working to get my GE/1st year college completed; studying for an associates degree at Fullerton College as a special admit student. This means I'll likely graduate high school with an associates degree and high school diploma. For my future, I want a MPsych and PhD in Music. This Quartet allows me to hold space for others and myself to have fun, chat, and make music. When I created this quartet I was blindsided by the business aspect of it (collaborating, printing, promoting, social media, website, etc) but it's actually become beneficial to me as it reminds me of my purpose and life goals. I love being able to perform and I believe we are allowing the general public access to hearing live classical music that they would otherwise have to make opportunities for themselves to hear. I started piano at age 5 and now, I'm a multi-instrumentalist with 11 years of experience playing in this quartet, orchestra, OCYSE, jazz band, and marching band. To me, music is the world to me and I can't imagine a day without it"
Connor Yang - First Violinist
"I enjoy playing and practicing music on my violin. It feels strange to say I've been playing for around 7 years, mostly with experience in school orchestra section leading and having some solo work and performance on the side. For me, music is an outlet for myself and getting to perform my art for others to enjoy creates a purpose beyond my own enjoyment. This Quartet gives me a chance to connect with others and express myself in ways that orchestral and solo work simply cannot; a 'chamber' for more nuanced playing and coordination"
Ryan Hamh - Second Violinist
"This quartet is something I can enjoy with my friends I've met and connected with through music, playing together and practicing is splendid as it brings me joy and happiness. Music to me is a way I can escape the world, to explore and learn more to gain a sense of accomplishment. I started playing music when I was in the 3rd grade, from a recorder to now a violin. Throughout my musical journey, I hope I have been able to spread and share this talent I have worked for, to give people the joy I feel when I play music"
Alea Andronaco - Cellist
"I've been playing the cello for about 5 years now and its helped me grow immensely. This quartet is a way for me to both enjoyo times with friends while also allowing for me to grow as a musician. By sharing my music with others I hope to inspire joy within others and spread my passion for music to my community. I hope to continue this musical journey and share it with listeners along the way"
Mark LeCompte - Secondary Violinist
"To me, the Songbird Quartet is a fantastic way to spend time with friends while also improving my musical capability. I've been playing the violin for the past 7 years and the ability to make music has helped me make friends and improve myself. The greatest joy for me as a musician is to see the direct impact of my music through the smile on a listener's face."
