The Biava Quartet, winner of the 2003 Naumburg Chamber Music Award, is recognized as one of today's top young American quartets. Having established an enthusiastic following in the United States and abroad, the Quartet captured top prizes at the 2005 Premio Paolo Borciani and 2003 London International String Quartet Competitions, impressing audiences with its sensitive artistry and communicative powers.
Recent graduates of the New England Conservatory of Music, the members of The Biava Quartet—violinists Austin Hartman and Hyunsu Ko, violist Mary Persin, and cellist Jacob Braun—are now teaching assistants to the Tokyo String Quartet at Yale University. Highlights of the Quartet's 2004-2005 season included debuts at the Mostly Mozart, Norfolk and Pacific Music Festivals, as well as return appearances to Lincoln Center, Chicago, Washington D.C. and the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival as ensemble in residence.
