“Live performance is where the four of us love to be because so many things are possible,” says Adrian Steele, violinist in the Isidore String Quartet. Winners of the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition and a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the members of the quartet forge an emotional connection with audiences—valuing the listener as a fifth member of the ensemble. The quartet will also be in extended residency with University of Iowa School of Music students. 

The Isidore Quartet is a 2025/26 Ida Cordelia Beam Distinguished Visiting Professor.
