Isidore String Quartet
The Isidore String Quartet is an NYC-based ensemble with a focus to “revisit, revise, and reinvigorate.” An emerging string quartet, the ISQ is known for a uniquely personal sound and a vitality in interpretation. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘treating the old as if it were new, and the new as if it were old.’
The Isidore Quartet won first prize of the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022.
The musicians cultivate fun, accessible, and intimate experiences that create community through in-depth relationships and explore the power of the collective to uplift the individual. The medium of the string quartet is our playground to impact the world we live in and inspire others through the art of collaboration.
