Formally established in 2010, the Ehnes Quartet’s highly refined, sensitive and expressive performances have delighted audiences and critics across the globe and have made them one of the most sought after chamber groups performing today. Hailed as “an important new force in the chamber music arena” with a “dream-team line-up” (Strings), the Ehnes Quartet is comprised of four internationally renowned string musicians: violinists James Ehnes and Amy Schwartz Moretti, and cellist Edward Arron. For this concert they are joined by violist Matthew Lipman.

Known for his virtuosity and probing musicianship, violinist James Ehnes has performed in 37 countries on five continents, appearing regularly in the world’s great concert halls and with the most celebrated orchestras and conductors. His recordings have been honored with many international awards and prizes, including a Grammy. James was recently named Gramaphone Magazine's 2021 "Artist of the Year." He plays the “Marsick” Stradivarius of 1715.
