performing for 60 years with few changes in
membership. Its current musicians are
artists-in-residence at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Together, they create "as fine
a string quartet sound as can be heard from an

Latin- American art music and to perform the
masterworks of the string quartet repertoire. Its
members have played as soloists with a variety of
orchestras in Mexico and the United States and given
recitals in Japan, England, the United States, and

Beethoven
Quartet Op. 132 |

Playing “Chamber
Music in Any Chamber,” the Chiara Quartet reaches
from the concert hall into clubs, bars and
galleries, expanding the places to hear live
classical music while returning chamber music to its
roots in intimate spaces. Described by the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
as “vastly
talented, vastly resourceful, and vastly committed
to the music of their time,” the Chiara is also
continually finding new meaning within pieces from
the well-established quartet canon. Their style is
best described as a nonstop journey to the edge of
expressive possibility.

performance tradition, focusing on the masterpieces
at the very heart of the quartet repertoire. Its
interpretations are celebrated for their intensity
and focus, a style in which individualism dedicates
itself to the collaborative spirit of chamber music
and total service of the composer’s wishes.
