Audiences around the world respond with exhilaration to what critics call the "razor sharp intensity" and "heart stopping" performances of the award-winning Borromeo String Quartet. Quickly establishing itself as one of the most important string quartets performing today, the Borromeo Quartet has been hailed by The New York Times as "outstanding" and the Boston Globe as "simply the best there is."

During the 2002-03 season, the Borromeo String Quartet will perform over 90 concerts in major venues across three continents. Highlights of the season include engagements in some of the foremost music centers in New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Philadelphia, as well as extensive international tours of the Far East and Europe.
