| The Pacifica Quartet celebrated its 10th anniversary in the 2004-2005 season with its first tour of Japan, its first appearance at Wigmore Hall in London, a performance of all five Elliott Carter quartets for San Francisco Performances, a concert at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, the release of the complete Mendelssohn string quartets on the Cedille label, and more than 60 concerts across the country. The current season includes a European tour, a three-concert series in Chicago, two concerts at Lincoln Center in New York, two in Washington DC, and concerts across the country from Boston to New Orleans to Tucson.
Winner of three of chamber music's most important international awards, Grand Prize at the 1996 Coleman Chamber Music Competition, top prize at the 1997 Concert Artists Guild Competition, and the 1998 Naumburg Chamber Music Award, the Quartet was subsequently honored in 2002 with Chamber Music America's prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award and was appointed a member of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's CMS Two program for gifted musicians. An ardent advocate of contemporary music, the Pacifica has commissioned and performed as many as eight new works a year, and has performed Elliott Carter's five quartets in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cleveland, Chicago, and at the Edinburgh International Festival. The Pacifica Quartet serves as Faculty Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Chicago.
