Formed in 2006 by graduates of The Juilliard School, New England Conservatory, Oberlin Conservatory, and Rice University, and based in New York City, the Bryant Park Quartet was the recipient of a Chamber Music America Residency Partnership Program grant and was a top prizewinner in the 2010 Hugo Kauder International Music Competition. As the Ensemble-in-Residence at Stony Brook University, the Bryant Park Quartet spearheads a new initiative to bring high-level chamber music to the community. The BPQ has been invited as teaching artists at Azusa Pacific, Biola, and Cornell Universities.
