Artists
Dover QuartetAbout
In concert, the quartet has presented three complete Beethoven cycles, including the University at Buffalo’s renowned “Slee Cycle” – which has offered annual Beethoven quartet cycles since 1955 and has featured the likes of the Budapest, Guarneri, and Cleveland Quartets. The Dover is featuring Beethoven’s Quartet in G major, op.18 no.2, in its 2020–2021 season programming.
The Dover Quartet’s recording of Mozart’s final string quartets, K589 and K590, plus his String Quintet, K406 (with Guarneri Quartet violist Michael Tree), on Cedille Records, an homage to their Guarneri Quartet mentors, was hailed by the Sunday Times of London as “a deeply affecting debut disc” performed “with surpassing beauty, a glorious timbral richness governed by what feels a continuous thoughtfulness”.
Quartet-in-residence at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music, the Dover is also the first-ever quartet-in-residence for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., among other prestigious posts. The Washington Post proclaimed, “Lovers of chamber music should put the Dover Quartet on their to-hear list”.
The Dover Quartet performed more than 100 concerts around North America in 2018–2019, including those at the Kennedy Center, San Francisco Performances, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Spivey Hall, Boston’s Celebrity Series, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Dover’s season featured tours of Hong Kong, Europe, and Australia.
