Solera Quartet

The New York City-based Solera Quartet is the Quartet in Residence at the University of Notre Dame. Members Tricia Park and Miki-Sophia Cloud, violins; Molly Carr, viola; and Andrew Janss, cello, have been featured in such world-renowned international venues as Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall in London, Orchard Hall in Tokyo, The Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center. They have also participated in prestigious festivals such as the Marlboro Music Festival, Music@Menlo, Perlman Music Program, LaJolla Summerfest, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and Music from Angelfire. Noteworthy accomplishments include an Avery Fisher Career grant, a Grammy nomination, top prizes at international competitions, and a CMS2 artist roster appointment at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Members are graduates of the Juilliard School, Harvard College, New England Conservatory, and the Manhattan and the Yale Schools of Music.

The word solera describes a craft method of producing wine and spirits, in which new and old vintages are perpetually layered in one barrel to achieve a uniquely complex and ever-evolving blend. Similarly, the Solera Quartet is founded on a deep respect for the rich string quartet tradition alongside an intrepid desire to add new layers to that tradition through developing fresh interpretations, cultivating collaboration across disciplines, and commissioning contemporary repertoire.
