Founded at the Curtis Institute of Music in 2008, where they now serve as an ensemble in residence, the Dover Quartet has achieved international acclaim, beginning with a career-launching sweep of all the major prizes at the 2013 Banff String Quartet Competition.
Since that pivotal moment, the Quartet has consistently built upon their success, undertaking ambitious projects such as recording the complete cycle of Beethoven’s quartets and earning a Grammy Award nomination for their exemplary interpretation of Schumann’s quartets. For their Series program, the Quartet will perform Schumann’s Quartet No. 1 alongside Tchaikovsky’s moving first string quartet, and Dvořák’s 1893 “American” quartet, written in an Iowa Czech immigrant community.
The Dover Quartet returns to Boston following their appearance on the Debut Series in 2018, marking a thrilling opportunity for audiences to experience their continued excellence and artistic growth.
