The hallmark of the American String Quartet is a combination of brilliant individuality and impeccable ensemble playing that leaves listeners spellbound. With more than 30 years of artistic acclaim and a string of awards that began with the 1974 Naumburg and Coleman prizes, the American is secure in its status as one of the world's foremost string ensembles. Joining the group is Menahem Pressler, legendary pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, who over a career spanning more than five decades has established himself among the world's most beloved musicians. "The finesse, the thoughtfulness, and depth of the performance could not be surpassed" (Berliner Morgenpost).
