Friends of Music welcomes the return of the excellent young Dover Quartet, lauded by The New Yorker as both \u201cexciting and accomplished.\u201d The Wall Street Journal has described their playing as \u201cmasterly, nuanced\u201d with \u201cgutsy and earthy sound,\u201d while the Santa Fe New Mexican has said that to hear them is to be in \u201cstring quartet nirvana.\u201d Although violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt will leave the quartet at the end of August, they have announced that they are \u201cexcited to share the news that the Dover Quartet has appointed\u00a0Hezekiah Leung\u00a0as its violist for a season-long appointment starting in September.
