The '''Cleveland Quartet''' |
The '''Cleveland Quartet''' - one of the world's leading [[string quartet]]s for over two decades - was founded in 1969 by [[violin]]ist [[Donald Weilerstein]], at the time an instructor at the [[Cleveland Institute of Music]], whose director [[Victor Babin]] had secured funding for an in-resident quartet (the institute's first) to be headed by Weilerstein. Weilerstein formed the group that summer at the [[Marlboro Music School and Festival]] with violinist [[Peter Salaff]], violist [[Martha Strongin Katz]], and cellist [[Paul Katz]]. The group was initially called the "New Cleveland Quartet." In 1971, the group left the Cleveland Institute because of disagreements over teaching loads and took up residency at the [[University of New York at Buffalo]]; they dropped the word "New" from their name at this time. In 1976 they made their final change of residency, moving to the [[Eastman School of Music]] in Rochester, New York. The quartet had two personnel changes subsequently: [[Atar Arad]] replaced Strongin Kat in 1980; and [[William Preucil]] replaced Weilerstein in 1989. The quartet disbanded in 1995. As of 2007 Paul Katz, Martha Strongin Katz and Donald Weilerstein are on the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music; Peter Salaff is on the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music; William Preucil is the concertmaster of the [[Cleveland Orchestra]]; and Atar Arad teaches at the [[Jacobs Conservatory of Music]] at [[Indiana University]]. The quartet has an extensive discography with the Cleveland-based label [[Telarc]]. |

The Cleveland Quartet - one of the world's leading string quartets for over two decades - was founded in 1969 by violinist Donald Weilerstein, at the time an instructor at the Cleveland Institute of Music, whose director Victor Babin had secured funding for an in-resident quartet (the institute's first) to be headed by Weilerstein. Weilerstein formed the group that summer at the Marlboro Music School and Festival with violinist Peter Salaff, violist Martha Strongin Katz, and cellist Paul Katz. The group was initially called the "New Cleveland Quartet." In 1971, the group left the Cleveland Institute because of disagreements over teaching loads and took up residency at the University of New York at Buffalo; they dropped the word "New" from their name at this time. In 1976 they made their final change of residency, moving to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. The quartet had two personnel changes subsequently: Atar Arad replaced Strongin Kat in 1980; and William Preucil replaced Weilerstein in 1989. The quartet disbanded in 1995. As of 2007 Paul Katz, Martha Strongin Katz and Donald Weilerstein are on the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music; Peter Salaff is on the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music; William Preucil is the concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra; and Atar Arad teaches at the Jacobs Conservatory of Music at Indiana University. The quartet has an extensive discography with the Cleveland-based label Telarc.
