One of the most exciting chamber ensembles currently emerging on the concert scene, the Tessera Quartet has already created an energetic presence, captivating audiences with its glowing sound and bold interpretations. A compelling mosaic of four accomplished young soloists, the Tessera Quartet was formed under the guidance of the renowned Juilliard String Quartet in 2007. Highlights of its current season include a debut on the New School Concerts series, residencies at Georgetown University and Peabody Institute, and collaborations with pianists Orion Weiss and Claude Frank. Next year, the Tessera Quartet will record Lowell Liebermann's complete quartets for Koch Records.
