The Calidore String Quartet has been recognized for achieving an extraordinary cohesion of individual artistry and collective expression. “Four more individual musicians are unimaginable, yet these speak, breathe, think and feel as one.”(Washington Post) Their artistry reflects a profound engagement with both the classical canon and the evolving language of 21st-century chamber music.

The Calidore has performed at many of the world’s greatest concert halls, including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Wigmore Hall, and festivals such as the BBC Proms, Verbier, Ravinia, and Caramoor. Collaborators have included Anne-Sophie Mutter, Joshua Bell, Anthony McGill, Marc-André Hamelin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, David Finckel and Wu Han, the Emerson String Quartet, and Quatuor Ébène, among others.

Dedicated advocates for today’s music, the Calidore has premiered works by Caroline Shaw, John Williams, Anna Clyne, and Gabriela Montero, to name a few.  In the 2025–26 season, they give the world premiere of a new quartet “Arietta” by Turnage at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

In 2026, the Calidore releases an all-American album on Signum, featuring music by Barber, Marsalis, Korngold, and John Williams. In 2025, their landmark box set of the complete Beethoven quartets was released following their live cycle at Lincoln Center.
