The Daedalus Quartet (pronounced DED-a-lus) was founded in the
summer of 2000, and one year later captured the Grand Prize of the
2001 Banff International String Quartet Competition, quickly
establishing itself as among America’s outstanding string quartets.
The Daedalus Quartet was named by Carnegie Hall to participate in
the ECHO (European Concert Hall Organization) Rising Stars program,
through which it made debuts during the 2004-2005 season at the
Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), the Megaron (Athens), the Festspielhaus
(Baden-Baden), Symphony Hall (Birmingham), the Palais des Beaux Arts
(Brussels), Philharmonie (Cologne), the Cité de la Musique (Paris),
the Mozarteum (Salzburg), and the Musikverein (Vienna), as well as
at Weill Recital Hall for Carnegie Hall’s “Distinctive Debuts”
series. A re-engagement to perform at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel
Hall followed.
