Ehnes Quartet

The Ehnes Quartet consists of North American players and has gained an international reputation. The members had been acquainted for many years and had often performed together in various groupings before formally establishing the quartet, which has gone on to perform not only in the U.S. but in such top European venues as Wigmore Hall in London and the Auditorium du Louvre in Paris. The Ehnes Quartet has also gained international attention for its recordings, which began with a 2014 release on which Ehnes played the violin concerto of Khachaturian, while the Ehnes Quartet offered a pair of Shostakovich works. The group returned in 2016 with a recording of quartets by Schubert and Sibelius, and in 2021 with a release devoted to Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13, Op. 130, and Grosse Fugue, Op. 133.
