About the Balourdet Quartet

“Absolute musical perfection … full, robust sound … impeccable balance.” (The Boston Musical Intelligencer)

Established in 2018, the Balourdet Quartet is acclaimed for its vibrant energy and masterful blend of technical precision and emotional depth that brings a fresh perspective to both beloved classics and modern compositions. Its unique closeness and willingness to take creative risks earned the Balourdet the 2024 Avery Fisher Career Grant, as well as Chamber Music America’s 2024 Cleveland Quartet Award. With more than 70 concerts per season, recent highlights include the Balourdet’s debuts at Carnegie and Wigmore Halls, and the premiere of new string quartets by composers Karim Al-Zand, Paul Novak, and Nicky Sohn. Highlights of the 2025-26 season include performances at Carnegie Hall, the Freer Gallery at the Smithsonian, Boston’s Celebrity Series in Jordan Hall, and Chamber Music Houston.

The Balourdet Quartet Concert is a part of Music at Mechanics', a live music series in Mechanics' Institute's historic downtown spaces. Individuals can purchase bundled concert tickets to both the Beo String Quartet and Balourdet Quartet at an exclusive discounted rate. See our season dates below!
