ENSO STRING QUARTET
SUMMARY BIOGRAPHY
It was "standing room only", wrote
the Pittsburg Post-Gazette of a performance by the Enso String
Quartet. The Press of New Zealand declared the ensemble "a
youthful, prodigiously talented international foursome." Also
commenting on the dynamism of the group, the Ann Arbor News
declared their playing "crisp, incisive...with just the right
quotient of sass."
The Strad applauded them for their "lyricism,
style and expression as well as sophistication". 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.
