The Brentano String Quartet hit the ground running from its founding in 1992, quickly racking up coveted awards such as the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Naumburg Chamber Music Award.

In 1996 the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center invited them to be the inaugural members of Chamber Music Society Two, a program which has since become a coveted distinction for chamber groups and individuals.

The quartet, which takes its name from Antonie Brentano, believed by some to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved,” has gone on to tour the country and world, performing at many of the most prestigious halls in the U.S.

and Europe.

In addition to performing the entire two-century range of the standard quartet repertoire, the Brentano Quartet has a strong interest in both very old and very new music.

It has performed many musical works pre-dating the string quartet as a medium, among them Madrigals of Gesualdo, Fantasias of Purcell and secular vocal works of Josquin.

The Brentano has also worked closely with some of the most important composers of our time, including Elliott Carter, Charles Wuorinen, Chou Wen-chung, Steven Mackey, Bruce Adolphe and György Kurtág, as well as commissioning quartet works from Adolphe, Mackey, David Horne and Gabriela Frank.
