The Verona Quartet

The Verona Quartet is among the foremost U.S. chamber ensembles of its generation, notable for combining an international touring schedule with residencies at some of the country's top educational institutions. In addition to playing standard repertory, the Verona Quartet has commissioned new music from Julia Adolphe, Sebastian Currier, and Michael Gilbertson (the Pulitzer Prize-nominated work entitled Quartet), among others. The quartet has embarked on cross-genre collaborations, including a live-performance installation with visual artist Ana Prvački, exchanged with traditional poets from the United Arab Emirates, and a project with the folk trio I'm With Her. In 2021, the Verona Quartet released its debut album, Diffusion, featuring works by Janáček, Szymanowski, and Ravel. A sophomore release, SHATTER, appeared in 2023, and the Verona Quartet returned that year with a recording of the complete string quartets of György Ligeti.
