Dvorak's American String Quartet refers to the celebrated String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96, nicknamed the “American” quartet. Composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1893 while he was in Spillville, Iowa, this work stands as a landmark blend of European craftsmanship with resonant American musical influences. While there isn’t a single contemporary ensemble officially named “Dvorak's American String Quartet,” the piece is regularly performed by leading string quartets around the world, including the Kneisel, Takács, and Beaux Arts quartets, among others. Here you’ll find a concise biography of the composer’s link to the quartet, highlights from its discography, and upcoming tour information tied to major ensembles performing this cornerstone work. We’ve got you covered for reliable, no-fuss ticket options when these groups bring the American String Quartet to a venue near you.
