The Miró Quartet is an eminent American string quartet based in Austin, Texas, renowned for their dynamic, thoughtful, and poignant performances. Formed in 1995, the group takes its name from the Spanish artist Joan Miró, whose surrealist works—with their sense of freedom and color—reflect the artistic ethos of the quartet. The ensemble consists of Daniel Ching (violin), William Fedkenheuer (violin), John Largess (viola), and Joshua Gindele (cello). The quartet's origin is rooted in the Cleveland Institute of Music, where the founding members began their collegiate work together, quickly establishing a reputation for their depth of interpretation and extraordinary technical precision.

Over the years, the Miró Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide, performing across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. They have been praised for their inspired approach to both traditional quartet repertoire as well as contemporary works. Their discography includes a wide range of compositions, showcasing their versatility and commitment to the art form. Notable releases such as "Beethoven: Complete String Quartets" demonstrate their mastery over the classics, while albums like "Shaw: Microfictions [volume 1]" reaffirm their dedication to contemporary composers. Whether bringing new life to Schubert with "Schubert: Famous Pieces" and "Schubert Interrupted" or exploring the depths of Beethoven with dedicated albums, the Miró Quartet remains a tour de force in the chamber music world. Their live performances, as captured in "Miró Quartet Live," bring the intimacy and intensity of their studio recordings to audiences with vivid immediacy.
