<strong>Juilliard</strong><br />
<strong>String</strong> <strong>Quartet</strong><br />
With unparalleled artistry and enduring<br />
vigor, the <strong>Juilliard</strong> <strong>String</strong> <strong>Quartet</strong> continues<br />
to inspire audiences around the world<br />
with its performances. Founded in 1946,<br />
and widely known as “the quintessential<br />
American string quartet,” the <strong>Juilliard</strong><br />
draws on a deep and vital engagement<br />
with the classics, while embracing the<br />
mission of championing new works – a<br />
vibrant combination of the familiar and the<br />
daring. Each performance of the <strong>Juilliard</strong><br />
<strong>Quartet</strong> is a unique experience, bringing<br />
together the four members’ profound<br />
understanding, total commitment, and<br />
unceasing curiosity in sharing the wonders<br />
of the string quartet literature.<br />
Having welcomed cellist Astrid<br />
Schween and celebrated its 70th<br />
anniversary last season, the <strong>Juilliard</strong> <strong>String</strong><br />
<strong>Quartet</strong> marks the <strong>2017</strong>-2018 season with<br />
highly anticipated return appearances<br />
in Seattle, Santa Barbara, Pasadena,<br />
Memphis, Raleigh, Houston, Amsterdam,<br />
and Copenhagen. The <strong>Quartet</strong> continues its<br />
acclaimed annual performances in Detroit,<br />
Philadelphia, and at the Ravinia Festival,<br />
along with numerous concerts at home in<br />
New York City, including appearances at<br />
Lincoln Center and Town Hall. The season<br />
kicks off with the release of a new album<br />
featuring the world premiere recording<br />
of Mario Davidovsky’s Fragments (2016),<br />
