The Verona Quartet has firmly established themselves as one of the most compelling young chamber music ensembles to emerge in recent years

The Verona Quartet has firmly established themselves as one of the most compelling young chamber music ensembles to emerge in recent years - praised for their 'interpretive strength', 'robust characterization' and 'commanding resonance'.

Set to serve as Oberlin Conservatory’s Quartet-in-Residence during the 2020-21 academic year and current Quartet-In-Residence at the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance and the Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, The Verona Quartet previously served residencies at the New England Conservatory’s Professional String Quartet Training Program, The Juilliard School and the Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.

They count amongst their mentors Paul Katz, Atar Arad, Martha Strongin Katz, Donald Weilerstein, Miriam Fried, Kim Kashkashian, Merry Peckham, Alex Kerr and members of the Pacifica, Juilliard and Borromeo Quartets.
