  One of the world's truly great chamber ensembles, the Jerusalem Quartet has just marked 30 years circling the globe with a wide and varied repertoire and stunning depth of expression. "A good string quartet, wisdom has it, is like a single instrument with 16 strings. That sort of unity of sound and purpose is a given in any performance by the extraordinary Jerusalem Quartet" (The New York Times).

The Jerusalem Quartet is a regular and beloved guest on the world's great concert stages. Recent appearances include a Beethoven quartet cycle at Wigmore Hall in London a Bartok cycle at the Salzburg Festival their annual String Quartet seminar in Crans Montana Switzerland, and a residency at the Jerusalem Academy of Music.

Highlights of the upcoming 2023-24 season include tours of Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and appearances in the quartet Biennales in Paris, Lisbon, and Amsterdam. Alongside the quartet's regular programs, they will bring back the "Yiddish Cabaret", and will perform a Bartok Cycle in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. Their upcoming North American tours include concerts in Montreal, Pittsburgh, Providence, Portland (Maine), Houston, Tucson, Palm Beach, Miami, New Orleans, Denver, Los Angeles, Carmel, New York, and other locations. In Ann Arbor, they will be joined by pianist Inon Barnaton.

The Jerusalem Quartet's recordings have been honored with numerous awards, including the Diapason d'Or and the BBC Music Magazine Award for chamber music.
