Sunday, April 15, 2018 – 7 pm
Praised by The New Yorker as “a fresh and vital young participant in what is a golden age of American string quartets,” the Daedalus Quartet has established itself as a leader among the new generation of string ensembles. Since winning the top prize in the Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2001, the quartet has impressed critics and listeners alike with the security, technical finish, interpretive unity, and sheer gusto of its performances, performing in many of the world’s leading venues.
The Daedalus Quartet has served as Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Pennsylvania since 2006.
