Miami String Quartet
“Everything one wants in a quartet: a rich, precisely balanced sound, a broad coloristic palette, real unity of interpretive purpose and seemingly unflagging energy,”
The New York Times

“Extraordinary musical insight, ensuring an ideal blend of sensitivity and intensity in their dramatic accounts.”
The Strad
“Cohesion is the byword with this group, with no unequal strengths in the collective fabric. They work together, on a deep level, and have arrived at the point where inter-musician communication comes, if not easily, then naturally.”
