Balourdet Quartet: February 2026

The Balourdet Quartet is acclaimed for its vibrant energy and masterful blend of technical precision and emotional depth that bring a fresh perspective to both beloved classics and modern compositions. Its unique closeness and willingness to take creative risks earned it the 2024 Avery Fisher Career Grant as well as Chamber Music America’s 2024 Cleveland Quartet Award. With more than 70 concerts per season, recent highlights include the Balourdet’s debuts at Carnegie and Wigmore halls and new string quartets by composers Karim Al-Zand, Paul Novak and Nicky Sohn through grants from Chamber Music America (2021) and the Barlow Foundation (2023).
