By popular demand, we have added a string quartet to the 2009-2010 season.

And not just any quartet.

 

The Parker Quartet won the 2005 Concert Artists Guild Competition, captured First Prize and the Mozart Prize at the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition, and have recently performed in many great halls, including Lincoln Center, Wolf Trap, Ravinia, and Carnegie Hall.

 

The Parker Quartet also received the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award in January of this year, an honor the ensemble will carry through the 2010-2011 season. The award honors and promotes a string quartet on the rise whose artistry suggests that a major career is underway. The honored quartet is selected by an anonymous jury and the award is presented by Chamber Music America.
