The Ariel String Quartet (featuring Gershon Gerchikov, Amit Even-Tov, Alexandra Kazovsky, and Jan Grüning), originally from Israel, performs with the intensity and passion of a young quartet, and the conviction and cohesiveness of veterans. The American Record Guide describes the Ariel as "a consummate ensemble gifted with utter musicality and remarkable interpretive power." The American String Quartet was formed over 35 years ago when its original members were students at The Juilliard School. The Quartet was launched by winning both the Coleman Competition and the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in the same year. Now, the American is internationally recognized as one of the world's foremost quartets.
