ABOUT
The Tesla Quartet takes its name from the famed inventor Nikola Tesla, a visionary scientist and engineer celebrated for his originality, innovation, and unconventional spirit. Much like their namesake, the quartet is known for its individuality, creative energy, and forward-thinking approach. Drawing inspiration from Tesla’s relentless pursuit of new ideas, the ensemble brings a distinctive voice to the chamber music world, combining technical mastery with fresh interpretations that captivate audiences.
Now in its 18th season, the Tesla Quartet is known the world over for their “superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they play, regardless of era, style, or technical demand” (The International Review of Music). The quartet performs regularly across North America and Europe, with recent highlights including their debut at New York’s Lincoln Center, a return to London’s Wigmore Hall, and performances at Stanford University’s Bing Concert Hall as winners of the prestigious John Lad Prize. Other recent international engagements include tours of Brazil, China, and South Korea. Notable festival appearances include the Banff Centre International String Quartet Festival; the Joseph Haydn String Quartet Festival at the Esterházy Palace in Fertőd, Hungary; the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival in Germany; and the Festival Sesc de Música de Câmara in São Paulo, Brazil. Having served as the Marjorie Young Bell String Quartet-in-Residence at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada from 2016-2017, the Tesla Quartet also recently completed a four-year community residency in Hickory, North Carolina that included performances and workshops at local colleges, universities, and in the public school system, as well as a dedicated chamber music series.
