The Quartet is known for its virtuosity\, exuberant performance style\, and often-daring repertory choices. Having served as quartet-in-residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music for the past decade\, the Quartet also leads the Center for Advanced Quartet Studies at the Aspen Music Festival and School\, and was previously the quartet-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2021\, the Pacifica Quartet received a second Grammy Award for Contemporary Voices\, an exploration of music by three Pulitzer Prize-winning composers: Shulamit Ran\, Jennifer Higdon\, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. \nFormed in 1994\, the Pacifica Quartet quickly won chamber music’s top competitions\, including the 1998 Naumburg Chamber Music Award. In 2002 the ensemble was honored with Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award and the appointment to Lincoln Center’s The Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two)\, and in 2006 was awarded a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. With its powerful energy and captivating\, cohesive sound\, the Pacifica has established itself as the embodiment of the senior American quartet sound. \nThe Pacifica Quartet has proven itself the preeminent interpreter of string quartet cycles\, harnessing the group’s singular focus and incredible stamina to portray each composer’s evolution\, often over the course of just a few days. Having given highly acclaimed performances of the complete Carter cycle in San Francisco\, New York\, Chicago\, and Houston; the Mendelssohn cycle in Napa\, Australia\, New York\, and Pittsburgh; and the Beethoven cycle in New York\, Denver\, St. Paul\, Chicago\, Napa\, and Tokyo (in an unprecedented presentation of five concerts in three days at Suntory Hall)\, the Quartet presented the monumental Shostakovich cycle in Chicago\, New York\, Montreal\, and at London’s Wigmore Hall. The Quartet has been widely praised for these cycles\, with critics calling the concerts “brilliant\,” “astonishing\,” “gripping\,” and “breathtaking.” \nUpcoming 2023-24 performances and recordings include projects with clarinetist Anthony McGill and guitarist Sharon Isbin. In addition\, the Quartet will collaborate with soprano Karen Slack for performances of James Lee III’s “A Double Standard\,” a new song cycle commissioned by Carnegie Hall\, Chamber Music Detroit\, and the Shriver Hall Concert Series. Named the University of Chicago’s Don Michael Randel Ensemble in Residence for the 2023-24 season\, the Pacifica Quartet will perform and give masterclasses at the University of Chicago throughout the year. Additional performances include ones for Krannert Center for the Performing Arts\, Chamber Music Detroit\, Denver Friends of Chamber Music\, and Caramoor. \nAn ardent advocate of contemporary music\, the Pacifica Quartet commissions and performs many new works including those by Keeril Makan\, Julia Wolfe\, and Shulamit Ran\, the latter in partnership with the Music Accord consortium\, London’s Wigmore Hall\, and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall. The work – entitled Glitter\, Doom\, Shards\, Memory – had its New York debut as part of the Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center series. \nIn 2008 the Quartet released its Grammy Award-winning recording of Carter’s Quartets Nos. 1 and 5 on the Naxos label; the 2009 release of Quartets Nos. 2\, 3\, and 4 completed the two-CD set. Cedille Records released the group’s four-CD recording of the entire Shostakovich cycle\, paired with other contemporary Soviet works\, to rave reviews: “The playing is nothing short of phenomenal.” (Daily Telegraph\, London) Other recent recording projects include Leo Ornstein’s rarely heard piano quintet with Marc-André Hamelin with an accompanying tour\, the Brahms piano quintet with the legendary pianist Menahem Pressler\, the Brahms and Mozart clarinet quintets with clarinetist Anthony McGill\, and their Grammy Award-winning Contemporary Voices album. \nThe members of the Pacifica Quartet live in Bloomington\, IN\, where they serve as quartet-in-residence and full-time faculty members at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Prior to their appointment\, the Quartet was on the faculty of the University of Illinois at Champaign Urbana from 2003 to 2012\, and also served as resident performing artist at the University of Chicago for seventeen years. \n
