The Amernet String Quartet is the ensemble-in-residence at Florida International University in Miami. Hailed for their “intelligence” and “immensely satisfying playing” by The New York Times, their performance schedule has taken the quartet across the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. They have collaborated with many of today’s prominent artists and ensembles, including the Tokyo Quartet, Anthony McGill, Sherill Milnes, and Joseph Kalichstein. Early in their career, the Amernet quartet won the gold medal at the Tokyo International Music Competition, as well as the first prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition. They actively advocate for neglected works of the past, with a focus on composers of the Jewish diaspora. Their performance at Trinity will feature quartets by Mozart and Schumann.
