Now in its second decade, the Ying Quartet continues to develop ways of making artistic and creative expression an essential part of everyday life. Their current projects in this direction include an innovating visiting residency at Symphony Space in New York City connecting music with other art forms. Natives of Chicago, the Ying siblings began their career as an ensemble in 1992 in the farm town of Jessup, Iowa. As quartet in residence at the Eastman School of Music, the quartet plans and directs a rigorous, sequential chamber music curriculum.
