Acclaimed as an "outstanding ensemble…cohesive yet full of temperament" (The New York Times), the Verona Quartet has firmly established itself amongst the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today. The group's singular sense of purpose earned them Chamber Music America's coveted 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award, and a reputation for its "bold interpretive strength, robust characterization and commanding resonance" (Calgary Herald). The Quartet serves on the faculty of the Oberlin College and Conservatory as the Quartet-in-Residence. In addition to its position at Oberlin, the Quartet recently held residencies at Nova Scotia's Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance, North Carolina's Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle and the ENCORE Chamber Music Institute. As committed advocates of diverse programming, the Verona Quartet curated the UpClose Chamber Music Series on behalf of the COT, electrifying audiences with their "sensational, powerhouse performance[s]" (Classical Voice America).
