About the Escher String Quartet

“Believe the buzz… the performance’s finesse, braininess, and ebullience characterized the rest of the concert.” — The Arts Fuse

The Escher String Quartet has established itself as one of the most accomplished chamber ensembles of its generation. Formed in New York City in 2005, and named after the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, the quartet is celebrated for performances that combine technical brilliance, interpretive insight, and a distinctive ensemble sound. The group serves as Artists of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and has earned international recognition for its commitment to both the core string quartet repertoire and contemporary music.
