About
The New York Times raved that “[the Quartet’s] playing had a kind of clean intoxication to it, pulling the listener along…the musicians took real risks in their music making,” while the Los Angeles Times praised their “triumphant L.A. debut.”
The Quartet performs extensively across the United States and abroad, with recent appearances in Baltimore, Chicago, Nashville, Sacramento, Berlin, San Miguel, Vienna’s Musikverein (Brahmssaal), and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw (Kleine Zaal). At Emory University, the ensemble has undertaken major performance projects, including the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle and an ambitious pairing of Bach’s complete solo works for violin, viola, and cello with Bartók’s six string quartets.
Recent highlights include their debut at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival and a performance at the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta alongside Mark and Maggie O’Connor. The Quartet’s 2024–25 season featured exciting collaborations with flutist Ransom Wilson, cellist Zuill Bailey, and the Juilliard String Quartet.
