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. Since Autumn 2025 Erinys has been the graduate quartet-in-residence at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
The Erinys Quartet was awarded the first prize at the 2025 Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition. Erinys has also won the Audience Prize and Esterhazy Foundation Haydn Prize at the 2023 Bad Tölz International String Quartet Competition, as well as the Bronze Medal at the 2024 Fischoff Competition.
Erinys Quartet has performed at such venues as Konzerthaus Berlin, Brevard Music Center, Lucerne Festival, and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. In the 25-26 season they look forward to presenting concerts and teaching masterclasses around North America, as well as performances throughout Europe including debuts at the Amsterdam String Quartet Biennale, Oslo Quartet Series, and Bergen Chamber Music Society.
Since 2021 Erinys Quartet has been supported by Le Dimore del Quartetto where they are also a part of the European Union-sponsored MERITA platform.
The Erinys Quartet’s primary mentors include the Dover and Pacifica Quartets, Günter Pichler, Atar Arad, and Marko Ylönen. In addition to their studies at Indiana University with the Pacifica Quartet, Erinys holds a post-baccalaureate diploma from the Curtis Institute of Music and is pursuing a diploma in chamber music at Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain.
