CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT SERIES

Named for the Erinyes (a.k.a. the Furies) from the Greek tragedy Oresteia by Aeschylus, and with roots in Estonia, Lithuania, Greece, the United States, and Finland, the Erinys Quartet was founded in 2018 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where they worked closely with cellist Marko Ylönen. Since the autumn of 2023, they have been the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet-in-Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music.

In 2023, the Erinys Quartet was awarded the Audience Prize Award of the City of Bad Tölz during the Bad Tölz International String Quartet Competition, the Esterházy Foundation Special Prize for best interpretation of a Haydn string quartet and were awarded the Bronze Medal Prize in the 2024 Fischoff Competition.
