Named after the Italian family that published the premiere issues of many of the Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven quartets, Artaria's refined and thoughtful playing has brought them critical acclaim in Europe and throughout the United States. The Boston Globe has described Artaria as "exquisitely balanced and sonorous" saying that "their musical understanding was first-rate." Based in St Paul, MN, the quartet has been featured on a Peter Jennings World News Tonight broadcast and has given numerous live performances on WGBH Boston and Minnesota Public Radio stations, and in 2004, was awarded the McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians. Members of the quartet also maintain active careers in performing and teaching on the faculties of St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges.
