About Dover Quartet
Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, becoming one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The New Yorker recently dubbed them “the young American string quartet of the moment,” and The Strad raved that the quartet is “already pulling away from their peers with their exceptional interpretive maturity, tonal refinement and taut ensemble.” In 2013-14 the quartet became the first ever quartet-in-residence for the Curtis Institute of Music.
This appearance by the Dover Quartet is sponsored by the W. Ford Schumann ’50 Performing Arts Endowment.
