Grand Prize winner of both the 2017 Plowman and Yellow Springs chamber music competitions, the Vera Quartet is the current String Quartet-in-Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. They also won Second Prize at the 2017 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition and the St. Lawrence Award at the 2018 Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition.

The quartet held a residency at the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, Germany, was the Graduate Quartet-in-Residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, and was selected by NPR’s “Performance Today” as a Young Artist-in-Residence. With its members hailing from Spain, Cuba, and the U.S., the ensemble shares a deep commitment to exploring and programming the music of its roots along with the great masterworks of the string quartet repertoire.
