The New York Times calls the Parker String Quartet “something extraordinary,” The Boston Globe hails its “fiercely committed performances” and The Washington Post declares it “a quartet that deserves close attention.” With such press accolades, and as a winner of both the Concert Artists Guild International Competition and the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition in 2005, audiences are taking note of this dynamic young ensemble.

Equally at home in a famous concert hall or a downtown club, the Parker Quartet embraces opportunities to bring its music to new ears in non-traditional spaces. The ensemble performs in bars and clubs all over the east coast, and its performances in these venues have been covered with features in Time Out NY, The Boston Globe, Chamber Music Magazine and Musical America.com. In Fall 2007, the group continues on this ground breaking path becoming the first ever String Quartet in Residence at Barbes Bar and Performance Space in Brooklyn. As part of this residency, the Parker String Quartet performs a series of collaborative concerts with artists of every genre including jazz, folk and world.

Recent past highlights include the critically acclaimed performance at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall on the CAG Winners series, as well as engagements by Ravinia Festival’s Rising Starts Series, Washington DC’s Corcoran Gallery and the Phillips Collection and New York’s Schneider Concerts Series at the New School.
