Recently honored with the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award, the Ariel Quartet is characterized by its youth, brilliant playing, and soulful interpretations. Serving as the quartet-in-residence at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music since 2012, the quartet has quickly earned a glowing international reputation.

Originally formed in Israel, the Ariel Quartet moved to the United States in 2004 to study at the New England Conservatory's Professional String Quartet Training Program. In 2006, the quartet won the grand prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition; in 2007, they won third prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition.
