Renowned for their “strikingly beautiful, luminescent” sound (The New York Times), this string quartet has won acclaim throughout the world for 30 years. Founded in 1974, the ensemble quickly achieved international recognition by becoming the first American quartet ever to win an international competition and won top prizes in three major international competitions within four years. The Audubon Quartet has concertized throughout major halls of North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and in 1981, became the first American quartet to visit China. Other special honors include preformances at the White House, the inauguration of governors, and performances for the BBC, NPR, and CBS Sunday Morning. Their Homestead performance will highlight music from “The Great American Songbook” including composers Jerome Kern and George Gershwin.
