Gyros String Quartet

The Gyros String Quartet was formed by violist Norbert Gerl in 1986 to host “Classical Thursdays” at Panteli’s (now defunct and still sadly missed) on lower Greenville Avenue in Dallas, Texas. The name for the quartet, incidentally, came straight off the menu - Panteli’s being a Greek wine bar/restaurant - and also as a kind of joke on the famous “Kronos Quartet” from San Francisco (we always wanted to challenge them to a softball game and a Mendelssohn Octet, if they were to come to town). Gyros String Quartet has performed for hundreds of wedding ceremonies and receptions, parties, corporate functions and art openings. Lead by violist Norbert Gerl and featuring the best string players in the DFW area, the primary goal has always been make a client’s event special. Currently, Gyros is the preferred wedding quartet for Highland Park UMC, Saint Thomas Aquinas and Royal Lane Baptist Church, among others.
