This remarkable quartet – hailed as “a triumph of ensemble playing” (NY Times) – is a multi-faceted ensemble taking chamber music in new directions. Touring music of the masters as well as exciting original works from visionary composers of our time, the Fry Street Quartet has perfected a “blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity” (The Strad). Since securing the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has toured world-wide, made acclaimed recordings, and brought new works to the stage through innovative commissions of major American composers.
