Artist bio
“The sound of the strings was one of poised, easy musicianship within a loosened (but never loose) blend
that allowed some individuation from each player" - Ronald Broun, The Washington Post
"A world-class ensemble, with impeccable technique and keen sense of architecture." - Anton Angelo - Fanfare Magazine
Since its founding in 1965 by the renowned Italian violinist Giorgio Ciompi, the Ciompi Quartet of Duke University has delighted audiences and impressed critics around the world. In a career that spans five continents and includes many hundreds of concerts, the Ciompi Quartet has developed a reputation for performances of real intelligence and musical sophistication, with a warm, unified sound that allows each player’s individual voice to emerge.
