The Kairos Quartet, established in 1993, has been the quartet-in-residence at Central Washington University since 1998. Violinists Carrie Rehkopf and Heather Netz, violist Timothy Betts, and cellist John Michel have extensive chamber music experience and have toured internationally.

In addition to traditional concert performances, the Kairos Quartet is committed to educational outreach and to performing in unlikely venues in which they seek to break down the barriers between audience and performers. 'Kairos' is a Greek word for non-chronological time: those special time-suspended moments experienced by children at play, reunited friends, or artists absorbed in their work. The Quartet hopes to create many such moments.
