Since its inception in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. While they have performed in the world’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, they have served as the first Resident Quartet at Princeton University since 1999. During its first European tour, the Quartet was honored with the Royal Philharmonic Award for Most Outstanding Debut.  The quartet’s playing is “passionate, uninhibited, and spellbinding,” raves a critic for The Independent of London. A Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer praises the ensemble’s “seemingly infallible instincts for finding the center of gravity in every phrase and musical gesture.”
