"As for the quartet's name, they say they took it from the 'awe-inspiring Pacific Ocean.' Awe-inspiring pretty much describes the quartet as well. . . I'd suggest a name change to Appassionata Quartet, but a quick Google search reveals that already is taken. In any case, you get the point." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Recognized for its virtuosity, exuberant performance style, and often daring repertory choices, the Pacifica Quartet has carved out a compelling musical path. Since the group first came together in 1994, the ensemble has swept top prizes in several leading international competitions from the Cleveland Quartet Award to the Naumburg. In 2006, the Pacifica was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant – only the second chamber music ensemble ever to be selected.
