“An incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape. ... Powerfully adept … with a combination of brilliance and subtlety.” — San Francisco Chronicle

Telegraph Quartet

• Eric Chin, violin
• Joseph Maile, violin
• Pei-Linf Lin, viola
• Jeremiah Shaw, cello

Formed in 2013, the Bay Area’s own Telegraph Quartet won the 2016 Naumburg Chamber Music Competition, a prize that helped launch the careers of such eminent groups as the Pacifica, Brentano and Emerson string quartets and the Eroica Trio. The quartet also won the Grand Prize in the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition after playing together for less than a year, and was the only American quartet of 15 from around the world invited to showcase at the 2016 Paris Biennale de Quatuors à Cordes. Recent appearances include its New York debut in Carnegie Hall and European debut at Italy’s Emilia-Romagna Music Festival.
