ENSO STRING QUARTET
The Enso String Quartet is one of the hottest young chamber ensembles on the scene today. With a solid foundation in the classics but an adventurous spirit, the Quartet is poised for success. In addition to audience appreciation and the critical acclaim, The Enso String Quartet has earned its place in the ensemble world with multiple honors at the 2004 Banff International String Quartet Competition, including the Piece de concert prize for the Quartet's riveting performance of a new work, and claimed victories at the 2003 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition.
The ensemble’s name, enso, is derived from the Japanese zen painting of the circle which represents many things; perfection and imperfection, the moment of chaos that is creation, the emptiness of the void, the endless circle of life, and the fullness of the spirit.
