Miró Quartet

  • Jane Mallett Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts 27 Front Street East Toronto, ON, M5E 1B4 Canada (map)

The Miró Quartet stands out in the world of classical music. Formed in 1995, the Miró won both the Banff and Naumberg chamber music competitions, and in 2005 became the first ensemble ever to be awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant.

In unforgettable performances, the Miró achieve the chamber music ideal of sounding as if they are only one instrument, the pinnacle of communication and collaboration.

The Miró Quartet took its name from the Spanish artist Joan Miró, whose Surrealist works — drawing on the realm of memory, dreams, and imaginative fantasy — are some of the most ground-breaking and admired of the 20th century.
