The Jerusalem Quartet
Prestigious Cultural Ambassadors Representing Israel and Jerusalem
The Jerusalem Quartet was established in 1993 and is one of the few small performing ensembles dedicated to playing only as a quartet living in Israel with a permanent home at the Jerusalem Music Center. The Quartet is among the top young quartets in the world and serves as a prestigious cultural ambassador for Jerusalem and Israel. The Quartet performs a series of concerts for schoolchildren and the public at large in Jerusalem each year.
Funding needed for operating costs: $140,000
