The Rosamunde String Quartet was founded in 2015 so that its members could pursue their passion for the string quartet repertoire. Comprised of young stars from three of the world’s greatest orchestras — Noah Bendix-Balgley, 1st concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic; Shanshan Yao, (violin) former member of the New York Philharmonic and Pittsburgh Symphony; Nathan Vickery (cello) of the New York Philharmonic; and Teng Li, principal violist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic — they take time away from their international careers to create music together. Each member is an accomplished soloist and musician and brings a unique voice to the ensemble. By uniting their experiences, they create a distinctive sound and unanimity of expression.

The musicians of the Rosamunde String Quartet believe their different backgrounds and educational influences enrich their collaboration. They strive for music-making that is informed, vibrant, and exciting. Above all, they hugely enjoy sharing their love of chamber music with each other and with audiences. Just listen to their Barber Quartet and you'll see why they've been called a Dream Quartet.

The Rosamunde String Quartet has performed in Asheville(NC), Boston, Cleveland(OH), New York, Washington DC, and Toronto, Ontario in Canada, among others. Masterclasses and residencies at the Curtis Institute, Carnegie Mellon, Morningside Music Bridge in Boston have also been important part of their touring plans. The current season includes appearances and residencies in Bloomington (IN), Cincinnati(OH), Pittsburgh(PA) and at New York’s fabeld Town Hall. The quartet looks forward to its forthcoming debut on the UMS series in Ann Arbor in Spring 2025 and other highlights.
