Winner of the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022 and an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2023, the Isidore String Quartet makes its recording debut on Delos.

Formed at The Juilliard School and coached with members of the Juilliard String Quartet past and present – the name Isidore comes from the legendary violinist Isidore Cohen, one of the Juilliard Quartet’s early members – the quartet is rapidly making a name for itself on the international concert scene.

The album Adorations is a celebration of chamber music at its essence – a tapestry of joy, human connection, and the enduring resonance of lives intertwined. Each work on the album reflects a unique form of adoration, offering its own expression of wonder, reverence, and the profound beauty of shared musical experience. Comprising Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in C major, Op. 20, and Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in E flat major, Op. 44, the recital also features Samuel Barber’s celebrated Molto Adagio and Florence Price’s Adoration.
