About the Harlem Quartet…

Grammy-winning Harlem Quartet, featuring Ilmar Gavilán, Melissa White, Jaime Amador, and Felix Umansky, has earned acclaim for its dynamic performances and fresh approach to classical music. The New York Times praised their “panache,” while the Cincinnati Enquirer lauded their “new attitude to classical music.” Grammy-winning woodwind virtuoso Ted Nash of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has been quoted saying, “Harlem Quartet is one of the greatest string quartets I have ever heard. They can play anything.” This ensemble has performed in 47 states and four continents, has been featured on numerous national television spots such as the Today Show and News Hour, and has even performed for first lady Michelle Obama at the White House. They are most well-known for their innovative programming, which seamlessly mixes classical repertoire with jazz, and Latin, as well as works by composers from underrepresented backgrounds, championing diversity in classical music to their core. harlemquartet.com
