DOVER STRING QUARTET

The phenomenal Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff Competition, at which they won every prize. Named the Cleveland Quartet Award-winner, and honored with the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Dover has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” (New Yorker), the Quartet serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Chamber Music Northwest, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, and was recently named the first-ever quartet-in-residence for the Kennedy Center.

In 2018-19 the Dover Quartet performs more than a hundred concerts around North America, including performances at the Kennedy Center, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Spivey Hall, Boston’s Celebrity Series, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Dover’s season features tours of Hong Kong, Europe, and Australia.

The 2016-17 season saw the release of an all-Mozart debut recording on the Cedille Label. Over the next three seasons, the group will record the entire Beethoven string quartet cycle.
