Hailed by the Boston Globe as “a national treasure,”
the MANHATTAN STRING QUARTET is celebrating
its 46th season. Well known for performances of
20th-century “classics,” the Manhattan Quartet has
established a significant international reputation
with regular concert appearances throughout North
America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. After a
series of concerts in Moscow and Leningrad in the
fall of 1985, the Quartet became the first American
classical ensemble to give a full tour of the Soviet
Union under that era’s new cultural agreement.
Their first sold-out series of performances in 1986
was followed by an equally successful tour in 1989. In 2005, the Quartet made its first tour
of Asia and played to sold-out houses in Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan. Notable among its many
recordings is the complete cycle of 15 Shostakovich string quartets that TIME Magazine called
“One of the most important musical events of 1991.”
Since 1989 the Manhattan String Quartet has hosted annual teaching and performing
conferences in the United States and Europe for pre-professional quartets and amateur players.
DAVID CLAMPITT is a music theorist and violinist who taught at
Yale University for 11 years before joining the faculty at Ohio State
University, where he is Associate Professor. A founding member of
the Algonquin String Quartet during his years as a violinist in New
York City, he has been a regular member and occasional soloist with
Orchestra of New England in New Haven and has appeared as a
recitalist at Yale. He has coached and lectured at KentMusic since
1990 and has also given his popular lecture/demonstrations with the
Manhattan String Quartet in New York City and in Europe.
ADDITIONAL FACULTY (for session at Colgate University) include Elizabeth Anderson,
cellist (Cassat Quartet); Michael Emery, violinist (faculty Skidmore College); Austin Hartman,
violinist (Biava Quartet); Kaethe Jarke, cellist (Shanghai Quartet); Joel Pichon, violinist
(faculty Smith College): and Liuh-Wen Ting, violist (Meridian Quartet).
All KentMusic coaches are highly regarded chamber musicians with extensive performance
and coaching experience. Unique to KentMusic, all coaches are current or former members
of internationally renowned string quartets.

“The Manhattan String Quartet blends
understanding, cohesion and sharpness to
convey the breadth and brilliance of these
involving works.”—TIME Magazine
at Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, WA
at Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, WA
“The Manhattan String Quartet’s response to this intensely
personal music is passionate and ultimately exhilarating. It is
the very same refusal to soften the blow of tragedy within the
music that makes listening to these performance a cathartic,
deeply satisfying experience.” —The Washington Times
June 20-26, 2016
The group has been Quartet-in-Residence at Colgate University since 1988 and has held
similar posts at the Manhattan School of Music, Cornell University, Grinnell College,
Connecticut’s Music Mountain Festival and Michigan’s Interlochen National Music Camp
(for 22 summers). In 2011, in collaboration with the Sarajevo Academy of Music, the
Manhattan Quartet established the Sarajevo Chamber Music Festival.
June 20-26, 2016
“The group has an exceptionally bright, clear sound,
technically very precise and seamless. Its interpretations had
more of an intellectual burnish than the emotional quality
that typifies a loft of European styles.”—The Prague Post
