The Eroica Quartet is a distinguished ensemble known for their masterful interpretations of the classical repertoire, with an emphasis on period performance practices. Comprised of four virtuosic musicians who share a deep commitment to historical authenticity, the quartet performs using gut strings and period-appropriate bows to capture the textures and tonalities as the composers might have envisioned. The group takes its name after Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony, a nod to their specialization in the classical and romantic periods, and their ability to convey the revolutionary spirit of the music they perform.

The Eroica Quartet has garnered critical acclaim for their insightful approach to the string quartet genre, with a discography that reflects a thoughtful engagement with the works of seminal composers. Their recordings include an exploration of Mendelssohn's oeuvre with multiple volumes of his String Quartets, revealing both the depth and breadth of the composer's work in this medium. Further contributions to their recorded legacy include vibrant renditions of Debussy and Ravel's String Quartets, as well as an insightful interpretation of Schumann's String Quartets, Op. 41. Their Beethoven recordings, including the acclaimed String Quartets, Op. 74, 95, 135, are celebrated for their dynamic performances that encapsulate the emotional range and structural innovation characteristic of Beethoven's music. Through these releases, the Eroica Quartet has solidified their reputation as one of the leading proponents of historically informed chamber music performance.
