“A ravishing performance. Mr. Dichter’s reading was that of a flesh-and-blood poet, gently inflected, keenly felt, and executed with breathtaking polish from start to finish.” —The New York Times

“Absolute musical perfection… full, robust sound… impeccable balance” —The Boston Musical Intelligencer, Balourdet Quartet Review

Now in the sixth decade of a distinguished global career, Misha Dichter remains one of America’s most popular artists, extending a musical heritage from the Russian Romantic School, as personified by Rosina Lhevinne, his mentor at The Juilliard School, and the German Classical style that was passed on to him by Aube Tzerko, a pupil of Artur Schnabel. He also studied composition and analysis with Leonard Stein, a disciple of Arnold Schoenberg.

The Balourdet Quartet is acclaimed for their vibrant energy and masterful blend of technical precision and emotional depth that brings a fresh perspective to both beloved classics and modern compositions. Its unique closeness and willingness to take creative risks earned it the 2024 Avery Fisher Career Grant, as well as Chamber Music America’s 2024 Cleveland Quartet Award.
