Since its founding in 1965, the Ciompi Quartet of Duke University has delighted audiences and impressed critics around the world. All its members are professors at Duke, where they teach instrumental lessons, coordinate and coach chamber music, and perform across campus in concert halls, libraries, dormitories and classrooms. In a career that spans five continents and includes many hundreds of concerts, the Ciompi Quartet has developed a reputation for performances of real intelligence and musical sophistication, with a warm, unified sound that allows each player’s individual voice to emerge.
“From beginning to end the playing sounded intelligent and sure, sofened at the edges with a full and mellow tone.”
The New York Times
Their music, full of passion, yet with pure and beautiful tone color, intoxicated the listener.
Wen Hui, Shanghai
The whole evening was a work of art, of technical brilliance, of careful, sensitive ensemble playing.
