Hailed as "a triumph of ensemble playing" (The New York Times), Fry Street Quartet has perfected a "blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity" (Strad). Since securing the Millennium Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in 2000, Fry Street Quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to Sarajevo and Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential with "profound understanding, ...depth of expression, and stunning technical astuteness" (Deseret Morning News). The Frey Street Quartet will perform a concert at Hartt as part of the Seminar week on Wednesday, August 3.
