Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1983, the Shanghai Quartet has worked with the world’s most distinguished artists and regularly tours the major music centres of Europe, North America and Asia. The quartet has a long history of championing new music and juxtaposing Eastern and Western sounds. Commissions and premières include works by Lowell Lieberman, Sebastian Currier, Bright Sheng and Zhou Long. The Shanghai Quartet currently serves as quartet-in-residence at Montclair State University in New Jersey, ensemble-in-residence with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and as visiting guest professors of the Shanghai Conservatory and the Central Conservatory in Beijing.
