Bio
Foghorn Classics was founded by the Alexander String Quartet in 1994. We chose the name in order to establish our location and affinity with the San Francisco Bay Area where foghorns are a part of our daily soundscape. In researching the name, we became aware that there was a company in Australia called Foghorn Records (a recording studio it turned out) as well as a publishing company in San Francisco (Foghorn Press), and so to distinguish our own operation from those, we registered FoghornClass.
