Masters Series 5 | New Orford String Quartet

“…nothing short of electrifying

— The Toronto Star

Four musicians with equally stellar pedigrees formed the New Orford String Quartet with the goal of developing a new model for a touring string quartet. Their concept—to bring four elite orchestral leaders and soloists together on a regular basis over many years to perform chamber music at the highest level—has resulted in a quartet that maintains a remarkably fresh perspective. The New Orford String Quartet has enjoyed astonishing success, including a 2017 JUNO Award for Best Classical Album. Recent seasons have featured return engagements in Chicago, Montreal, and Toronto, as well as the quartet’s New York City debut on Lincoln Center’s Great Performers series.
