This group's thrilling performance that closed our summer season last year led to their Schenectady debut in 2026.
Winners of the 2025 Naumburg Chamber Music Competition and recent prizewinners at the 2025 Bordeaux and Wigmore Hall International Quartet Competitions, the Terra String Quartet is a vibrant young international ensemble based in New York City. They are composed of graduates of The Juilliard School, The New England Conservatory, Harvard University, and the Curtis Institute of Music. Known for their sincere storytelling, commitment to artistic excellence, and versatile approach to repertoire, TSQ strives to foster conversation and genuine human connection through their performances and pedagogy.
TSQ is the 2024–26 Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music, where they coach undergraduate chamber music ensembles. They were the 2024–25 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts and curated programs centered around Benjamin Britten’s string quartets, including a commission by composer Juri Seo. They have also participated in education and community work as the '23–24 Project Music Heals Us Arts Leadership Ensemble. Their mentors and coaches include the members of the Brentano Quartet, Ara Gregorian, and Marcy Rosen.
TSQ has won top prizes at the 2023 Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition, the 2023 Osaka International Chamber Music Competition, and the 2022 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. In their spare time, they enjoy playing Mahjong together and learning about instruments and bows.
