According to the L.A. Times, this Grammy award winning string quartet "remains the standard by which all other quartets must be judged." Juilliard String Quartet champions the grounds of chamber music through pedagogy and public presentation.

Founded in 1946, Juilliard String Quartet has continuously impressed audiences with their boldness to combine its interpretation of the classics and of contemporary pieces. Juilliard is dedicated to liberating underperformed masterworks. They are notorious for performances marked by structure clarity, beautiful sound, purity of line and astonishing harmony of purpose.

This season includes amazingly talented new first violinist Nick Eanet, performing in his inaugural year with the quartet. Other members include Ronald Copes (violin), Samuel Rhodes (viola) and Joel Krosnick (cello).
