Artaria String Quartet

A warm, rich sound is the hallmark of the Artaria String Quartet. Now celebrating three decades of chamber music performances, Artaria’s refined and thoughtful playing has brought them critical acclaim in celebrated venues throughout the United States, Canada, and in Europe. Formed in Boston, and mentored by members of the legendary Budapest, La Salle, Kolisch, and Juilliard quartets, the Artaria String Quartet is firmly rooted in the tradition of chamber music performance and education. They have been featured on Peter Jennings World News Tonight, have given numerous live performances on WGBH Boston and Minnesota Public Radio stations, and have performed at celebrated venues across the United States including the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, the Alexander Schneider concert series in New York City, the Dame Myra Hess series in Chicago, and the Phillips Collection and Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C. They have also been featured at the Banff Centre in Canada, Festival de L'Epau in France, and the Tanglewood Music Center. They are winners of the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians and the Boston Globe has described them as "exquisitely balanced and sonorous" and that "their musical understanding was first-rate".
