The Ciompi Quartet

“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
