Cassatt String Quartet

**Cassatt String Quartet Bio**

The Cassatt String Quartet, founded in 1985 and named after trailblazing American artist Mary Cassatt, has carved out a dynamic niche in classical and contemporary music. Based in New York City, this all-women ensemble champions both masterworks and modern compositions, with a flair for collaborations and premieres. Their discography sparkles with versatility, from Ravel and Dvořak’s timeless gems to fresh works by living composers like Samuel Adler, Dan Welcher, and Gerald Cohen. Highlights include their vibrant take on Adler’s chamber pieces, Welcher’s expansive string quartets, and Cohen’s evocative *Voyagers*. They’ve also amplified voices like Andy Teirstein (*Restless Nation*) and Daniel Strong Godfrey (*Toward Light*), blending intricate storytelling with lush string textures. With over three decades of performances and recordings, the Cassatts remain a bold, curious force—equally at home in Beethoven’s grooves or the avant-garde’s edge.
