Highlights of the 2025-26 season include performances of Absolute Jest with the Dayton Philharmonic and the Oberlin Orchestra in Severance Hall. Additionally, the Quartet will serve as the 2025-26 Ernst Stiefel Quartet-in-Residence at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts and the 2025 St. Lawrence Emerging String Quartet in Residence at Stanford University.
