BIO:

With unparalleled artistry and enduring vigor, the Juilliard String Quartet (JSQ) continues to inspire audiences around the world. Founded in 1946 and hailed by The Boston Globe as “the most important American quartet in history,” the ensemble draws on a deep and vital engagement to the classics, while embracing the mission of championing new works, a vibrant combination of the familiar and the daring. Each performance of the Juilliard String Quartet is a unique experience, bringing together the four members’ profound understanding, total commitment, and unceasing curiosity in sharing the wonders of the string quartet literature.

In 2022-23, the Juilliard String Quartet welcomed violist Molly Carr, and also performed world premieres, including two works written for the group by celebrated German composer Jörg Widmann, composed to be performed alongside late quartets by Beethoven.
