Harlem Quartet by Amy Schroeder

Harlem Quartet’s dedication to advancing diversity in classical music, collaborative initiatives, and commitment to educational outreach make it one of the most vibrant ensembles today. Founded in 2006 by the Sphinx Organization—a national nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts—the quartet has performed cornerstones of the repertoire along with jazz, Latin, and contemporary works. Praised by The Cincinnati Enquirer for “bringing a new attitude to classical music,” Harlem Quartet inspires.
