Their work together as a group has been heralded as “distinguished by an enormous dynamic range, an unusual malleability of phrasing, and a wide palette of color” (Cleveland Classical). Joining this quartet’s performance is award-winning classical pianist Garrick Ohlsson, the only American to win first prize in the VIII International Chopin Piano Competition.
