The Dolphins Quartet
String Quartet
Original Music. Timeless Classics. Pure Joy.
The Dolphins Quartet is redefining what a string quartet can be. Blending classical masterworks, popular favorites, and their own original compositions, the ensemble creates concerts that are fresh, engaging, and full of personality.
From Beethoven to Elvis to Dolphins at Play, every performance combines exceptional musicianship with warmth, humor, and infectious energy.
Gold Medal Winners at the Chesapeake Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has performed at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and David Geffen Hall. All four members are graduates of The Juilliard School and served as Juilliard Gluck Community Service Fellows, bringing inspiring performances to communities throughout New York City.
And yes… they can swim.
“The Dolphins Quartet brings pure joy! They practically finish each other’s sentences musically. Their technique is precise, dynamic, and expressive, while their lyrical phrasing conveys deep emotion. The joy they have as they play together is palpable.” – Pike County Courier
