Verona Quartet

"Outstanding ensemble of young musicians"
"Cohesive yet full of temperament..vibrant, intelligent.."
-The New York Times


"They know what sounds rich and focused and they go with it, denying nothing of our expectations..."
"Interpretive strength and robust characterization....commanding resonance..."
-Calgary Herald


“After the Verona finished the fifth movement with a morendo non-vibrato ending, there was a...magnetic silence. No one dared move while the group held their bows still in midair. This was one of those irreplaceable moments of group experience that happen at concerts, when our individual selves fade out for a moment without breath – before we come back to ourselves to applaud.”
-The Arts Fuse

“a dramatically charged performance…the listening experience was pure pleasure”
-Oregon ArtsWatch


"It was delivered with delicate perfection by the Verona players, who play and breathe as one..."
-San Diego Story

"Everything was clear, luminous, balanced, and the unbridled polyphony of the finale literally shook the hall."
"Verona: Pure Joy."
-La Presse


"I confess that I have rarely heard a Ravel so clear, shiny, fluid, and a Beethoven so clean, sweet and feisty all at once, as on this occasion."
-Arcipelago Milano


"Sensational, powerhouse performance..."
-Classical Voice America


New Artist of the Month Feature: "The four musicians of the Verona Quartet were encountering [Babbitt's] sophisticated 12-tone language for the first time—although a listener might never have suspected as much. Their electrifying realization of the work’s Stravinsky-esque drive and Bartókian rhythms and pizzicatos finally unlocked the secret to a composer whose music I had heretofore appreciated mostly for his puckish titles..."
-Musical America


"The Verona Quartet were more convincing...more impassioned, more dynamic and more engaging. Plenty of expression here, the players not afraid to go to dynamic extremes and always keeping the music supple."
-The Amati Magazine


"..fiery ensemble work and big vibrant sound.."
-San Diego Union Tribune


"..the most intense and eerie five minutes of music one will hear this concert season.."
-Palm Beach Daily News


"They're the real deal; they really are."
-The Herald Times


"Individual parts blended into an organic whole, as if the entire quartet shared a brain...dynamic contrasts were fine tuned to perfection..."
-Cleveland Classical
