They have collaborated for many years in special performances with the poet Mwatabu Okantah.
The quartet has recorded music by Bartók, Maurice Ravel, Antonín Dvořák, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Welcher, Donald Erb, Ernest Chausson, Leo Brouwer, and Primosch for the Albany, Azica, Gasparo, New World, and Pantheon labels. They won the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1989. For their 20th Anniversary, they commissioned the work "Musings" for String Quintet from composer Joseph Hallman. The premieres took place with Alisa Weilerstein, cellist, at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
The quartet has been partners with many organizations, including the Chamber Music Connection, led by Debbie Price. They also run many free concerts for growing and learning string players, many of whom are under the age of eighteen.
