Praised for their "intelligence" and “immensely satisfying” playing by the New York Times the Amernet String Quartet has garnered recognition as one of today's exceptional string quartets and are Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University in Miami. Their sound has been called “complex” but with an “old world flavor.” Strad Magazine described the Amernet as “...a group of exceptional ability.”

They have collaborated with many of today's most prominent artists and ensembles including the Tokyo and Ying quartets as well as Shmuel Ashkenasi Roberto Diaz Gary Hoffman Ida Kavafian Anthony McGill Joseph Kalichstein Sherrill Milnes and Michael Tree.
