Vermeer Quartet
 
A critically acclaimed chamber music ensemble founded in 1969 at the Marlboro Festival, Vermeer is the city's preeminent string quartet. The group, a collaboration of resident musicians at Northern Illinois University, are currently the flagship classical ensemble of Performing Arts Chicago.

After years of performing strictly classical and early romantics (Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, etc.), the Quartet has begun to tackle more modern pieces (most notably since adding Mathias Tacke, who was previously a member of Germany's Ensemble Modern). They also earned a Grammy nomination for Haydn's The Seven Last Words of Christ.
