- The Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom
following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff Competition. The Cleveland Quartet Award winner, awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, and recently, named Quartet in Residence at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the Dover Quartet has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. With its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the Quartet’s distinctive sound has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” (The New Yorker). The Quartet also serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University.
The Dover Quartet musicians share their story of meeting as teenagers at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, and perform the first movement of Schumann's Piano quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44 with Googler pianist June Wu, as well as the complete Mendelssohn Quartet in F minor, Op. 80.

I saw them in Portland, OR in person "live on the radio" summer 2018. Wonderful group, wonderful music.
The Mendelssohn op 80 is almost unique in 19th century chamber music in its expression of grief and anger. It's not performed enough maybe because it so dark. This is a wonderful performance despite the rather poor reproduction. (My only quibble -- I would choose a faster more driving tempo for the 2nd movement). Anyone who has lost a loved one can relate to this music. Thanks for posting this. I look forward to hearing the recording of the full Schumann quintet.
Wow they are really amazing. The Gold Standard!!!
love to hear the personal story of Schumann behind the music, also thanks to the cameramen, excellent video- very clear
the excellent playing is so good I just take it for granted= BRAVO to you all
Thank you! See you in Santa Fe in August!
A beautiful performance an interpretation of grief anger, joy and eternal peace. Thank you for this performance.
Wow! No complaints here. Love the discussions and explanations too.
Performance starts 12:15
The Schumann comes off well. This performance is also a wonderful demonstration of the difference between professional and (outstanding) amateur playing.
Great performance -- it's a shame the sonics here seem to be a bit AM radio, though.
Now having to Google "cello with no tailpiece" omg?!
I don't think the audience appreciated the magnificent playing of this difficult piece.
You guys should play Crisantemi by Puccini. It's one of the most beautiful songs for a quartet
The Brayden channel we have!! It is so beautiful, and we love it!
What do you mean "we have it" ?
I said “we have”, as in yes we have played it before :) .
Oh. Did you not record it ?
No, not that time around. We played it at a private event. But you are right, it is such a beautiful piece and we loved playing it!
