DOVER BIO:
“…the Dover Quartet players have it in them to become the next Guarneri String Quartet - they’re that good.” - The Chicago Tribune
Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” (Chicago Tribune) and “the young American string quartet of the moment,” (New Yorker), the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom in 2013, following a stunning sweep of all prizes at the Banff Competition and has since become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. In addition to its faculty role as the inaugural Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet holds residencies with the Kennedy Center, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Artosphere, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Among the group’s honors are the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award. The Dover Quartet has won grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and fourth prize at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition.
In the 2020-21 season, the Dover Quartet debuts with Berkeley’s Cal Performances and embarks on its first-ever tour of Latin America, both of which will be conducted using virtual technology. Tour performances include collaborations with the Escher Quartet and harpist Bridget Kibbey. The quartet’s first volume of the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle, which focuses on the composer’s Op. 18 quartets, was released by Cedille Records in September 2020.
Among its many notable performances in 2019-20, the Dover Quartet made its Zankel Hall debut in collaboration with Emanuel Ax and returned to London’s Wigmore Hall. Other recent collaborators include Inon Barnaton, Ray Chen, Edgar Meyer, Anthony McGill, the late Peter Serkin, and Roomful of Teeth. Equally comfortable with repertoire from a range of eras, the quartet has worked with some of the world’s foremost living composers, including Caroline Shaw and Mason Bates.
Cedille Records released the Dover Quartet’s Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017; and an all-Mozart debut recording in the 2016-17 season, featuring the late Michael Tree, violist of the Guarneri Quartet. Voices of Defiance, which explores works written during World War II by Viktor Ullman, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks, was lauded upon its release as “undoubtedly one of the most compelling discs released this year” (Wall Street Journal).
The Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of the distinguished Guarneri, Cleveland, and Vermeer quartets. Its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Dover Quartet formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber.
The Dover Quartet is the Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at Curtis. Their faculty residency integrates teaching and mentorship, a robust international performance career, and a cutting-edge digital presence. With this innovative residency, Curtis reinvigorates its tradition of maintaining a top professional string quartet on its faculty, while providing resources for the ensemble to experiment with new technologies and engage audiences through digital means. Working closely with students in the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet Program, the resident ensemble will recruit the most promising young string quartets and foster their development in order to nurture a new generation of leading professional chamber ensembles.

i like spotify but i like the video more because it adds faces and emotions to the notes- life and love! without the video the sound is just sound that inspires but doesn't tell the whole story. thanks for posting these wonderful videos of a wonderful group of musicians
Four soloists who listen to one another. True heirs to the Guarneris!
Yes, I totally agree. Together and all the sharper for it!!!
👀 Bravo!! Viola left me exhausted! 👏🏼👏🏼
I love the performers and the performances, but I love the quality of the recordings themselves just as much. I've seldom heard recordings that come so close to creating a recorded experience that truly rivals the depth, richness, and nuances of a live performance. They provide the finish that adds its own distinct contribution to the complete musical effect of these remarkable recorded performances. Kudos to the recording engineers.
It communicates the uncertainty of life whether hard or bright but it doesnt matter because life becomes hard when we make to be so
Love this. Love them. You are some of the most talented musicians I have ever seen.
Are y’all for real?! Simply amazing…insanely talented. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
My absolute dream would be that all classical music concertists, be in unison in Europe, to energize MUSIC, this Idea of universal language and connection with the Peoples of the World, to achieve the noblest and most worthy resilience after, the viral pandemic, to rediscover all the wonders, splendors and virtuosities of our planet.
ja gap da gaat nie gebeure
Absolutely, outstanding.
Wondeful!!.. enjoyable!! Cleaning the house on repeat!!! Oh and dancing too
just fantastic - thanks a lot from Mendelssohn´s hometown Berlin!
Always love hearing this quartet!! @Joel, keep rockin the beard, it's totally working! @Milena, love the heels! @Bryan, as a fellow 2nd violinist, mad respect! @Camden, pure C.I.L.F.
Amazing string quartet playing! Txs for sharing!
Amazing piece, one of my favs, hard to believe it was written by an 18 year-old Mendelssohn, beautiful and passionate playing...what a treat, thank you all.
i feel like there's a certain sense in which it does feel like it was written by an 18 year-old, provided that 18 year-old was a genius, which mendelssohn certainly was, and with that consideration were it to be performed by prodigies, which it certainly is.
