Muir String Quartet Red Lodge

Music from the Beartooths - a concert series in Red Lodge Montana presents the Muir String Quartet

The Muir Quartet is one of the world's great string quartets, and we are especially proud to present them in an exclusive engagement for the Billings-Red Lodge area. This concert is produced in cooperation with the Montana Chamber Music Society.

This superb musical group is generally based in the Boston area, where they have become among most distinguished participants in the music scene there. Their travels have taken them all over the world, but Western Montana has been especially privileged to hear them on several occasions each year, largely through the dedication of Montana native and alumnus of the Red Lodge Music Festival, cellist Michael Reynolds.

The Muir musicians have performed together for 35 years, winning acclaim from all over the world. Among the prestigious awards they have received have been
1981 Naumberg Chamber Music Award
1980 Evian International String Quartet Competition
Grammy Award: Beethoven Quartets Op. 132 and Grosse Fuge
Grammy Nomination: Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintets
Two Grand Prix du Disque
The Gramophone Award.
