DOVER QUARTET
The Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition. Recently named winner of the Cleveland Quartet Award and earning the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Dover has become one of the most
in demand ensembles in the world. The group serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University.
In 2017/18, the Dover Quartet performs more than 100 concerts around North America and Europe. The quartet opened the season with performances for Texas Performing Arts, Chamber Music Houston, and Performance Santa Fe before appearing for
the Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Library of Congress, Detroit Chamber Music Society, and La Jolla Music Society. The quartet performed together with the superstar violinist Janine Jansen and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, and continued its multi-year residencies for the Walton Arts Center’s Artosphere, Peoples’ Symphony, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival.
Cedille Records released the quartet’s sophomore album, Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945, in October 2017. Its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the quartet first formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber.
