Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.’ The four began as an ensemble at the Juilliard School and, following a break during the global pandemic reconvened at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in the summer of 2021.
Highlights of their 23–24 season include appearances in Berkeley (Cal Performances), Boston (Celebrity Series), Washington DC (Phillips Collection), New York (92nd St. Y), Chicago, La Jolla, Aspen, Calgary, among many others. European highlights include Edinburgh, Lucerne, Amsterdam, and Hamburg’s ElbPhilharmonie.
Outside the concert hall, the quartet has worked with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US, providing encouragement, education, and healing to marginalized communities—including the elderly, disabled, rehabilitating incarcerated, and homeless populations—who otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance.
