Praised by The New Yorker as ‘a fresh and vital young participant in what is a golden age of American string quartets,’ the Daedalus Quartet has established itself as a leader among the new generation of string ensembles. In the ten years of its existence the Daedalus Quartet has received plaudits from critics and listeners alike for the security, technical finish, interpretive unity, and sheer gusto of its performances as well as for its adventurous exploration of contemporary music.
