The Chiara Quartet has established itself as among America’s most respected ensembles, lauded for its “highly virtuosic, edge-of-the-seat playing” (The Boston Globe). Thirteen seasons of playing together have made it renowned for bringing fresh excitement to traditional string quartet repertoire as well as for creating insightful interpretations of new music.
Recent honors include a Grammy Award nomination in 2011 and the ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming for the 2010-2011 season. The group has won top prizes at the Paolo Borciani International and Fischoff Chamber Music Competitions, and the Guarneri Quartet Residency Award for artistic excellence by Chamber Music America.
The Chiara has played major concert halls across the country including Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, and their recent international performances include tours of China, Korea, and Sweden, and concerts in Rome, Munich, and Montreal. The group has been artists-in-residence at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln since 2005 and in the summer, they are in residence at Greenwood Music Camp and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Chamber Music Institute.
