The Euclid Quartet at The Old Gallery

The Euclid Quartet is one of the most well-regarded chamber ensembles of its generation, known for performances filled with passion, virtuosity, and sensitivity. Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, the ensemble takes its name from Euclid Avenue at the cultural heart of Cleveland.

The members are a multinational mix representing four continents of the world: violinist Jameson Cooper (UK), violinist Jacob Murphy (US), violist Luis Enrique Vargas (Venezuela), and cellist Si-Yan Darren Li (China). They were the first American string quartet to be awarded a top prize at the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition, following wins at the Hugo Kauder International Competition for String Quartets, the Carmel Chamber Music Competition, and the Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition.

Among the groups appearances on tour have been Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, the Aspen Music Festival, and the National Gallery. This award-winning quartet holds the prestigious residency at Indiana University South Bend, and was awarded an American Masterpieces grant from the NEA for its innovative educational programming.
