“The Dover Quartet has been making life difficult for critics with playing that pretty much defies criticism.”
—Ludwig van Toronto

Catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of all prizes at the Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2013, the Dover Quartet has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. Among their honors and awards are the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award, as well as grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. In 2020, the quartet’s documentary Strings Attached: On the Road with the Dover Quartet was the most-viewed film at the Martha’s Vineyard FILMUSIC Festival. Their 2020-21 season included debuts with Berkeley’s Cal Performances and their first-ever tour of Latin America, both conducted virtually. The quartet’s first volume of the complete Beethoven cycle, focused on the composer’s Op. 18 quartets, was released by Cedille Records in September 2020.
