Since its formation in 1990, the Maia Quartet has established itself nationally as an ensemble of innovation and versatility. Praised by critics for its “sparkling musical intelligence,” the quartet has appeared in major concert halls throughout the United States and abroad, including New York’s Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall and the 92nd Street Y; Washington’s Kennedy Center; Beijing’s Forbidden City Concert Hall; and the Aspen Music Festival’s Harris Hall. Collaborations with leading chamber musicians have included performances with Joel Krosnick, André-Michel Schub, and Cynthia Phelps. The Maia Quartet’s commitment to the work of living composers has led to premieres of compositions by Pierre Jalbert, Dan Coleman, Vivian Fung, and Ronn Yedidia. In 2009, the Maia is celebrating its tenth anniversary as string quartet in residence at the University of Iowa.
