Cleveland Quartet Award
Culminating a remarkable twenty-six-year history as an ensemble, the members of the Cleveland Quartet envisioned a lasting legacy for young musicians. They joined forces in 1995 with Chamber Music America and eight prominent chamber music presenters to found the Cleveland Quartet Award and to raise funds for the establishment of the Cleveland Quartet Endowment Fund.
Given biennially, the award honors and promotes a rising young string quartet whose artistry demonstrates that it is in the process of establishing a major career. Providing the quartet with concert appearances on chamber music series around the country, the award enriches the presenters' offerings while helping outstanding young artists gain wide recognition.
The Jupiter String Quartet is the sixth ensemble to receive this prestigious award. Previous winners are the Brentano Quartet (1997), the Borromeo String Quartet (1999), the Miami String Quartet (2001), the Pacifica Quartet (2003) and the Mir&oacure; Quartet (2005).
The charter presenters of the Cleveland Quartet Award are:
Buffalo Chamber Music Society (Buffalo, NY)
Carnegie Hall (New York, NY)
Chamber Music Society of Detroit (Detroit, MI)
Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (Washington, D.C.)
Friends of Chamber Music (Kansas City, MO)
Market Square Concerts (Harrisburg, PA)
Krannert Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Urbana, IL)
University of Texas at Austin (Austin, TX)
Nominations for the Cleveland Quartet Award are submitted confidentially to Chamber Music America by a national roster of chamber musicians, presenters, and educators. The winning string quartet's presentations and performances are funded by income from the Cleveland Quartet Award Endowment Fund.
