 can String Quartet\n\nPeter Winograd\, violin\nLaurie Carney\, violin\nDan
 iel Avshalomov viola\nWolfram Koessel\, cello \n\n“…luxurious\, beauti
 fully sculpted performances.” —The New York Times\n\nInternationally r
 ecognized as one of the world’s finest quartets\, the American String Qu
 artet has spent decades honing the luxurious sound for which it is famous.
  The Quartet will celebrate its 45th anniversary in 2019. In its years of 
 touring\, the Quartet has performed in all 50 states and has appeared in t
 he most important concert halls worldwide. The group’s presentations of 
 the complete quartets of Beethoven\, Schubert\, Schoenberg\, Bartók\, and
  Mozart have won widespread critical acclaim. Their MusicMasters Complete 
 Mozart String Quartets\, performed on a matched quartet set of instruments
  by Stradivarius\, is widely considered to have set the standard for this 
 repertoire.\n\nThe Quartet’s 2017–18 season featured a major project w
 ith the National Book Award-winning author Phil Klay and the poet Tom Slei
 gh. This groundbreaking program combined music and readings that examined 
 the effects of war on people\, their hearts\, and their minds. In 2016–1
 7\, the Quartet collaborated with the renowned author Salman Rushdie to pr
 emiere a new work for narrator and quartet by the film composer Paul Cante
 lon built around Rushdie’s novel The Enchantress of Florence.\n\nThe Qu
 artet’s diverse activities have also included numerous international rad
 io and television broadcasts\, including a recent recording for the BBC\; 
 tours of Asia\; and performances with the New York City Ballet\, the Montr
 eal Symphony\, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Recent highlights include p
 erformances of an all-sextet program with Roberto and Andrès Díaz\, many
  tours of South America\, and performances of the complete Beethoven cycle
  of string quartets at the Cervantes Festival in Mexico and the Tel Aviv M
 useum in Israel.\n\nThe American’s extensive discography can be heard on
  the Albany\, CRI\, MusicMasters\, Musical Heritage Society\, Nonesuch\, a
 nd RCA labels. Most recently the group released Schubert’s Echo\, which 
 pairs Schubert’s monumental last quartet with works bearing its influenc
 e by Second Viennese masters Alban Berg and Anton Webern. This repertoire 
 posits that the creative line from the First to the Second Viennese School
 s is continuous\, and evident when these works are heard in common context
 .\n\nAs champions of new music\, the American has given numerous premieres
 \, including George Tsontakis’s 2015 Quartet No. 7.5\, “Maverick\,” 
 Richard Danielpour’s Quartet No. 4\, and Curt Cacioppo’s a distant 
 voice calling. The premiere of Robert Sirota’s American Pilgrimage to
 ok place in September 2016. In January 2009 the Quartet premièred Tobias 
 Picker’s String Quartet No. 2 in New York City in celebration of the 90t
 h anniversary of the Manhattan School of Music.\n\nFormed when its origin
 al members were students at The Juilliard School\, the American String Qua
 rtet’s career began with awards from both the Coleman Competition and th
 e Naumburg Award in the same year.  Resident quartet at the Aspen Music F
 estival since 1974 and at the Manhattan School of Music in New York since 
 1984\, the American has also served as resident quartet at the Taos School
  of Music\, the Peabody Conservatory\, and the Van Cliburn International P
