A Boston-based string quartet formed by 4 close friends in 2016, the Amory Quartet members have been playing with each other in different configurations for many years until they finally decided to form a string quartet together this year. Though the quartet is relatively young, the quartet members have already shared many memories together as they have attended same schools and were all Emerging Artists Fellows at the Garth Newel Music Center in 2015. Individually, they have performed all over the world including Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, England, Jamaica, South Korea, and have played for members of the Chiara String Quartet, Daedalus Quartet, Cavani Quartet, and Muir Quartet among others.
