Dalí Quartet

The University at Buffalo Department of Music is honored to present the Dalí Quartet, a Latin American inspired, but classically trained string quartet, to perform in concert. The Dalí Quartet has many accolades to their name including Chamber Music America’s 2024 Ensemble of the Year, as well as being recipients of the 2023 ACMP Foundation’s Susan McIntosh Lloyd Award for Excellence and Diversity in Chamber Music, the 2021 Chamber Music America’s Guarneri String Quartet Residency, funded by the Sewell Family Foundation, the 2021 Silver Medal at the inaugural Piazzolla Music Competition, and the 2019 Aspire Award from The Atlanta Symphony for accomplished African American and Latino Musicians.

Trained by world-renowned artists, members of the Dalí Quartet are from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the US, and have degrees from esteemed institutions including the New England Conservatory, Cleveland Institute of Music, Juilliard, Indiana University Bloomington, and the Simón Bolivar Conservatory in Caracas, Venezuela. The Dalí Quartet is acclaimed for bringing Latin American quartet repertoire into the spotlight alongside traditional Classical and Romantic canon. The quartet includes award-winning solo and chamber artists who have appeared at Carnegie Hall, toured widely in Europe and Asia, collaborated with some of the finest composers of our time, and recorded with labels Delos, Naxos, and Centaur. Since 2015, the Dalí Quartet have been the Brandywine Artist in Residence at West Chester University, where they perform concerts, and hold masterclasses and workshops.
