What the Critics are Saying

San Francisco Classical Voice: February 19, 2019

“From the beginning, the evenly balanced ensemble opened up worlds of resonant sonority, immediately wrapping the listeners in such a spell.”

Boston Classical Review: December 6, 2018

“It was easy to hear why this foursome is so lauded. The musicians…are together a rare musical combination of power and beauty, and they play with the sensitivity and authority of great quartets of the past and present.”

Washington Post: October 11, 2018

“Every concert by the Dover Quartet in the Washington area has been extraordinary, if not exquisite.”

Chicago Tribune: October 8, 2015

“The Dover Quartet players have it in them to become the next Guarneri String Quartet—they’re that good. Expert musicianship, razor-sharp ensemble, deep musical feeling and a palpable commitment to communication made their performances satisfying on many levels.”

“The Dover Quartet has been making life difficult for critics with playing that pretty much defies criticism.”

—Ludwig van Toronto, July 18, 2019

“The Dover Quartet continued to practice its razor-sharp precision, its gloriously rich sound, and the ability of each musician to seize a moment of individual musical rapture when called on to do so.”

—Theater Jones, January 9, 2019

“The Dover Quartet is one of the most lauded string quartets of the new generation, acclaimed not just for its accomplished playing but also for its innovative programming and imaginative interpretations.”

—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, October 24, 2016

“A sound so distinctive as to be identified within mere minutes.”

—Philadelphia Inquirer, June 26, 2015
