Since its inception in 1946, the Juilliard String Quartet has embodied the credo stated by founders Robert Mann and William Schuman to \u201cplay new works as if they were established masterpieces, and established masterpieces as if they were new.\u201d The hallmarks of its distinctive sound \u2013 clarity of structure, beauty of sound, purity of line and an extraordinary unanimity of purpose \u2013 have been applied to virtually every era and genre in the literature, from Beethoven, Schubert and Bart\u00f3k to Carter, Davidovsky, Babbitt and Wernick.<\/p>\n
The Juilliard String Quartet continues its vibrant tradition of music-making and education in the 2011\/12 season, with Joseph Lin as its new first violinist and colleague on the faculty of The Juilliard School. The Quartet will appear worldwide in prestigious venues, including in New York City and Philadelphia, at the Ravinia Festival, at Stanford University, and abroad in Berlin, Munich, London, Tokyo, Osaka and Macau, China.<\/p>\n
This international schedule is in keeping with recent seasons in which the Quartet performed at the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the International Beethoven Festival in Bonn, the Palacio Real in Madrid, the Cit\u00e9 de la musique in Paris, the Miyazaki Festival in Japan, the Moscow International Performing Arts Centre, London\u2019s Wigmore Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Musica Viva Chamber Music Festival in Australia, and the Israel Festival in Jerusalem. In the United States, they have appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Tanglewood Festival, the Kennedy Center, the Library of Congress, Boston\u2019s Jordan Hall, Los Angeles\u2019s Disney Hall and San Francisco\u2019s Herbst Theatre.<\/p>\n
The Quartet was created by the great American composer, William Schuman, then president of The Juilliard School, and the Quartet\u2019s original first violinist, Robert Mann. The ensemble\u2019s purpose would be to perform contemporary works as well as the great classical repertory, and to teach at Juilliard. These have been, and remain, the cornerstones of the JSQ mission.<\/p>\n
During the course of its history, the JSQ has performed some 500 works, including the premieres of more than 60 pieces by American composers, with works by the country\u2019s finest jazz musicians among them. The JSQ was the first ensemble to play all six Bart\u00f3k quartets in the United States. The quartets of Schoenberg were rescued from obscurity by the ensemble\u2019s performances.<\/p>\n
With more than 100 releases to its credit, the JSQ is one of the most widely recorded string quartets of our time. The JSQ\u2019s recordings of the complete Bart\u00f3k quartets, the late Beethoven quartets, the complete Schoenberg quartets, and Debussy and Ravel quartets have all received Grammy Awards. Inducted into the Hall of Fame of the National Academy for Recording Arts and Sciences in 1986 for its first recording of the complete Bart\u00f3k quartets, the Juilliard String Quartet was awarded the Deutsche Schallplattenkritik Prize in 1993 for Lifetime Achievement in the recording industry. In 2011, the Juilliard String Quartet became the first classical music ensemble to be honored by The Recording Academy with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
