The Calidore String Quartet is recognized as one of the world’s foremost interpreters of a vast repertory, building on more than a decade of performances and residencies in the world’s most esteemed venues and festivals. They have released numerous critically acclaimed recordings and received significant awards, including the Avery Fisher Career Grant.

The Los Angeles Times described the musicians as “astonishing,” their playing “shockingly deep,”approaching “the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching.” The New York Times noted the quartet’s “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct,” and the Washington Post wrote that “four more individual musicians are unimaginable, yet these speak, breathe, think and feel as one.”

Throughout the 24/25 season, the Calidore are performing the complete String Quartets of Beethoven at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, at the University of Delaware, and bringing the complete cycle to the five boroughs of New York City through the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Initiative for Music and Community Engagement — a newly launched series dedicated to bringing chamber music into diverse neighborhoods and communities across New York City. Although based in the city, the quartet also is returning to their alma mater, the Colburn School in Los Angeles, to play the complete cycle of Korngold String Quartets.

The quartet’s members are: Jeffrey Myers and Ryan Meehan, violins; Jeremy Berry, viola and Estelle Choi, cello.

The program for this concert is:

  • Haydn – String Quartet No. 64 in D Major, Op. 76, No. 5, Hob. III:79
