This all-star string quartet is composed of members of some of the world’s leading orchestras: Noah Bendix-Balgley, first concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker; Shanshan Yao, current principal violinist of the Kammerakademie Potsdam and former violinist of the New York Philharmonic; Teng Li, principal violist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; and Nathan Vickery, cellist in the New York Philharmonic.

Each year, they coordinate their complex orchestral schedules to find time to explore the string quartet repertoire together, sharing their love of chamber music with each other and with audiences around the world.
