The Miró Quartet is one of America’s highest-profile groups on the chamber music scene today. They perform “with explosive vigor and technical finesse,” according to The New York Times. Founded in 1995 at the Oberlin Conservatory, the Miró Quartet met with immediate success by winning first prize at the Coleman, Fischoff, and Banff Competitions and the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Award. It was the first ensemble ever to be awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant. The Miró is currently the Faculty String Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Texas, and is regularly invited to perform at the world’s most celebrated concert halls.
