Join us for an evening of poetry read by Pegasus poets, followed by a performance of Haydn's String Quartet in C Minor, Op. 17, no. 4 by the world-renowned Brentano String Quartet.

For many years, the collaboration between the Pegasus Physician Writers at Stanford and the St Lawrence String Quartet was a highlight of the  Pegasus calendar. Born from the friendship of the late Dr. Hans Steiner and former SLSQ member Lesley Robertson, this annual Ekphrastic Poetry and Music event was launched in 2015 and immediately became a much anticipated celebration of the deep connections between poetry and music, bringing together our communities for an evening of shared artistic discovery.

The Pegasus Physician Writers at Stanford, holds readings and other events to promote creativity, reflection and discussion on areas such as the context of medicine, the meaning of doctoring, health care, health and illness.  Pegasus Physician Writers, founded in 2008, is comprised of physicians and physicians-in-training who meet regularly in the Stanford area to workshop their creative writing. 

(The SLSQ disbanded in 2024 following the untimely death of cofounding violinist Geoff Nuttall, though the other members remain at Stanford.) Pegasus Physician Writers is  grateful to continue this tradition with the continued support of the St Lawrence Legacy Series, Lesley Robertson, and our partners at the Stanford Department of Music.
