Widely acclaimed in appearances across the country, the Quartet has enhanced its national reputation through appearances at the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the Merkin Concert Hall and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in New York City.
The group’s notable residencies have included the Aspen Music Festival, the Sedona Chamber Music Festival, and Dartmouth College, as well as appearances at the Colorado Music Festival, the Meadowmount School of Music, the Sewanee Music Festival, Music Mountain in Connecticut and the Maverick Concert Series in Woodstock, New York.
