Avalon String Quartet Tickets

The Avalon String Quartet has stood at the forefront of classical and contemporary chamber music since its formation in 1995. As the quartet-in-residence at the Northern Illinois University School of Music since 2007, they bring a rigorous performance approach to both traditional quartet cycles and modern American repertoire. The ensemble has earned prestigous honors—from the ARD Competition top prize in Munich (2000) to the Concert Artists Guild First Prize (1999)—and continues to captivate audiences with acclaimed recordings and dynamic live programs.

Known for their complete quartet cycles, Avalon String Quartet delivers the depth of Beethoven, Bartók, and Brahms alongside fresh voices in contemporary music. They perform in storied venues like Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, and Bargemusic, and maintain an active touring schedule that includes a dedicated 2025 itinerary with notable Chicago performances at Pianoforte Chicago.
