Harlem Quartet

New York-based Harlem Quartet (Ilmar Gavilán and Melissa White, violins; Jaime Amado, viola; Felix Umansky, cello) has been praised for its “panache” by The New York Times and hailed for “bringing a new attitude to classical music, one that is fresh, bracing and intelligent” in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Since its public debut at Carnegie Hall, the ensemble has thrilled audiences and students in 47 states as well as in the U.K., France, Belgium, Brazil, Panama, Canada, Venezuela, Japan, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Harlem Quartet’s programming combines standard string quartet literature with jazz, Latin, and contemporary works.
