The Erinys Quartet, named for the Erinyes (a.k.a. the Furies) from the Greek tragedy Oresteia by Aeschylus, and with roots in Estonia, Lithuania, Greece, the United States, and Finland, the Erinys Quartet was founded in 2018 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where they worked closely with cellist Marko Ylönen. Since the autumn of 2023, they have been the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet-in-Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music.
This repertoire for the Learning to Listen Series includes Haydn’s string quartet in B minor Op. 33 No. 1, Debussy’s string quartet in G minor, Op. 10, and Beethoven’s string quartet No. 9 in C major, Op. 59, No. 3.
The Erinys Quartet appears by special arrangement with Curtis on Tour, the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music.
