“Their balance, blend and rhythmic cohesion work beautifully …”
The Washington Post
The remarkable Fry Street Quartet – hailed as "a triumph of ensemble playing" by The New York Times – is a multifaceted ensemble taking chamber music in new directions.
Since securing the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to London, and Sarajevo to Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential with "profound understanding … depth of expression, and stunning technical astuteness" (Deseret Morning News).
