ABOUT THE MUSICIANS

A premier Juilliard string quartet based in New York, The Dolphins have performed, taught, and collaborated nationwide. Members have won top prizes at major national and international competitions, including The Fischoff and Coltman chamber music competitions and have performed across America and Europe. The Dolphins have been frequently featured at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, performing the Juilliard premiere of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s String Quartet No. 4, Villa-Lobos’ String Quartet No. 5, as well as world premieres of numerous contemporary works. The Dolphins work closely with living composers, recently performing John Corigliano’s 1995 String Quartet and Andy Akiho’s LigNEouS. In 2023, the Dolphins presented their first collective composition, The Dolphin Miniatures.

In April, the Dolphins will perform John Adams’ work for string quartet and orchestra, Absolute Jest, with John Adams conducting the Juilliard orchestra in Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall. This summer, the Dolphins will perform as Shouse Fellows at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival in Michigan, the St. Lawrence Quartet Seminar at Stanford University, and Music from Angel Fire in New Mexico.

The Dolphins are fortunate to have studied with Joseph Lin, Joel Krosnick, Laurie Smukler, Natasha Brofsky, Molly Carr, Nick Mann, Fred Sherry, Paul Neubauer, John Corigliano, and The Juilliard String Quartet.

The Dolphins helped launch the ‘Music for the Future’ educational campaign for Project: Music Heals Us, bringing Juilliard composition curriculums to correctional facilities in California. The Dolphins are proud Juilliard Gluck Community Service Fellows and perform outreach concerts throughout NYC. The Dolphins have served as teaching artists for the CMS Lincoln Center’s Meet the Music series as well as Juilliard’s Young Peoples Concerts series. In 2024, the Dolphins will visit multiple universities and conservatories as guest artists to perform and work with students on quartets and improvisation.
