The quartet regularly performs at schools around the country and the Appomattox Regional Governor's School orchestra attends a weekend of workshops with the quartet every spring. Garth Newel also hosts an Amateur Retreat every spring. Each summer, college and conservatory students from around the world journey to Garth Newel to attend the Young Artists Fellowship program where they spend a month in rehearsals and master classes that culminate in a final performance here at the music center.

Former members of the quartet include Genevieve Feiwen Lee.[7][8]
The quartet has recorded two CDs featuring masterworks of the piano quartet repertoire: Mozart's Quartet in G minor, KV 478 and the Brahms Quartet in G minor, Opus 25,[9] Dvorak's Quartet in E-flat Major, Opus 87 and the lesser-known Czech work, Bohuslav Martinu's Quartet No. 1.
The music center has been featured in a number of video segments in the series entitled 'In A Day's Drive' over the years.[10]
Garth Newel
Garth Newel is a historic home located near Hot Springs, Bath County, Virginia. The main house was built in 1923–1924, and consists of a three-story central block flanked by 2 1/2-story wings. Each section is topped by a gambrel roof and entirely clad in rough-sawn vertical board and batten. Also on the property are a number of contributing cottages and outbuildings, including Entrance Piers (c. 1925), Woodzell Cottage (c. 1925), Kendall House (1954), Giles Cottage (c. 1925), Arabian Horse Barn (c. 1925), Indoor Riding Arena/Herter Hall (c. 1925), Fire Pit (c. 1925), and Stone Retaining Wall/Steps (c. 1925).[11]
Garth Newel was built by artist William Sergeant Kendall (1869-1938) and his second wife Christine Herter Kendall (1890-1981). Together they built the estate beginning in 1923, shortly after their permanent move to Virginia. For the remainder of their lives, Garth Newel was their focus, providing them a rural yet sophisticated estate at which they painted, raised award-winning Arabian horses, and participated in the elite society of Bath County. They were also known for hosting small concerts in the main residence at Garth Newel.[12]
The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[13]
