Artistic Director, Lucinda Carver, and Centrum are honored to welcome the Dover Quartet in residence for its 2022 Chamber Music workshop. The members of the quartet will be coaching two emerging student ensembles in a series of masterclasses, showcase concerts, and a culminating full-length concert exclusively with the Dover Quartet.
Please join us for an uncompromising week of chamber music at Fort Worden; it is going to be magical.
Centrum gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Dover Quartet by Nelly and Jim Tretter, and student ensembles by Don and Sylvia White
ABOUT THE DOVER QUARTET
Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” (Chicago Tribune), the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom in 2013, following a stunning sweep of all prizes at the Banff Competition and has since become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. In addition to its faculty role as the inaugural Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet holds residencies with the Kennedy Center, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Artosphere, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Among the group’s honors are the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award. Equally comfortable with repertoire from a range of eras, the quartet has worked with some of the world’s foremost living composers, including Caroline Shaw and Mason Bates.
The quartet’s recent collaborators include Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnaton, Ray Chen, Edgar Meyer, Anthony McGill, the Escher Quartet, and Roomful of Teeth. In addition to two previous albums for the label, the Dover Quartet is recording the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle for Cedille Records, with the first volume released in September 2020. The Dover Quartet was formed in 2008 at the Curtis Institute of Music.

ABOUT THE LUMIN QUARTET
The Lumin Quartet was founded in the summer of 2019 at Center Stage Strings, where they were placed in the Accelerated String Quartet Program, and worked with members of the Calidore Quartet and violinist Sang Me Lee. In 2022, they were joined by violist Benjamin Martz. They have been coached by Kirsten Docter, Amir Eldan, and Fabiola Kim at the University of Michigan. In Ann Arbor they have performed in outreach concerts and in the School of Music’s ChamberFests.
ABOUT THE SOLIDEO QUARTET
Hailing from the four borders of the United States, the Solideo Quartet strives to bring people from diverse communities together through chamber music from the past and present, to form common threads of understanding. Within the first year of their establishment in 2021, Solideo appeared as the Emerging String Quartet in Residence at the Music in the Vineyards Festival and won top prizes in the Coltman and American Prize Chamber Competitions. In 2022 they will continue their residency at the University of Illinois, studying with the acclaimed Jupiter Quartet.
