A warm, rich sound is the hallmark of the Artaria String Quartet. The Boston Globe describes Artaria as “exquisitely balanced and sonorous” and that “their musical understanding was first-rate”. Members of Artaria direct the Artaria Chamber Music School in Saint Paul, MN, the Stringwood Chamber Music Festival, and they also present the Saint Paul String Quartet Competition, an annual national event that showcases America’s finest high school string quartets in the country. Artaria is committed to celebrating students, audiences, and composers of all diversity, to confront one’s role in perpetuating injustice, to facilitate the healing of past wounds, and to open opportunities for all to thrive today and always.
