The American String Quartet is widely acclaimed as among the world's best quartets and stands out for its "luxurious, beautifully sculptured performances", as described by the New York Times.
Formed in 1974, when its original members were students at The Juilliard School, the quartet was launched by winning both the Coleman Competition and the Naumburg Award in the same year. Their innovative approach to concert programming has won them a number of notable residencies since then. They have performed in all 50 states and appeared in virtually every important concert
hall throughout the world.
