Meany Center: Dover Quartet

• Dover Quartet

After their stunning sweep at the Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Dover Quartet has rapidly become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. Known for expressive interpretations and a deep musical connection, the Grammy-nominated group has been honored with an Avery Fisher Career Grant and awards from Chamber Music America and Lincoln Center. In addition, they are Ensemble in Residence at their alma mater, the renowned Curtis Institute of Music. Their much-anticipated performance includes music by Amy Beach, Antonín Dvořák, and George Walker.

Few young American ensembles are as exciting and accomplished as the Dover Quartet.

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. The group’s awards include a stunning sweep of all prizes at the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, and prizes at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition.
