The Miró Quartet has announced highlights of its 2026-2027 season, which includes a return to The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall and joint performances with the Isidore String Quartet at Yale University and Music Mondays in New York City. Praised for musicianship that 'radiates familiarity with the music beyond the notes' (The Strad), the Miró Quartet has distinguished itself for more than 30 years as one of America's most acclaimed string quartets. In its three decades of performance, the Austin-based ensemble has brought its signature warmth and virtuosity to leading concert stages and festivals worldwide, as well as a dozen acclaimed recordings.

Among the highlights of its 2026-2027 season, the Miró Quartet returns to The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall and combines with the Isidore String Quartet for performances at Music Mondays in New York City and the Oneppo Chamber Music Series at Yale University. They perform programs with acclaimed clarinetist David Shifrin at the Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series in Richmond, VA, and Fontana Chamber Arts in Kalamazoo, MI. The season also brings them to performances at Music in the Vineyards in Napa, CA; Feldman Chamber Music Society in Norfolk, VA; Chamber Music Society Williamsburg in Williamsburg, VA; Chamber Music Society of Little Rock in Little Rock, AR; Howland Chamber Music Circle in Beacon, NY; Bridgehampton Chamber Music in Bridgehampton, NY; Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad, IN; Ensemble Music Society in Indianapolis, IN; Chamber Music Monterey Bay in Carmel, CA; Chamber Music Marin in Mill Valley, CA; International Classical Concerts in La Quinta, CA; Bender JCC of Greater Washington in Rockville, MD; and Maverick Concerts in Woodstock, NY.

Beginning the 2026-2027 season with a string of concerts in Virginia, Miró first performs on September 13, 2026 with clarinetist David Shifrin as part of the Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series at the W.

After opening the program with Haydn's Quartet in D major, the quartet will be joined by Shifrin for Alan Shulman 's Rendezvous with Benny, Benny Goodman 's Swing Arrangements by David Schiff, and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A major.

They go on to a performance at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA, presented by the Feldman Chamber Music Society on September 14, 2026. The program features Haydn's Quartet in D major, Webern's Langsamer Satz, and Dvořák's String Quartet in F major, 'American', along with Entr'acte by frequent Miró collaborator Caroline Shaw .

They go on to perform at the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival in Bridgehampton, NY on October 24, 2026, performing Schubert's Quartet in C minor, 'Quartettsatz', Caroline Shaw 's Entr'acte, and Schubert's String Quartet in G major.

The quartet is joined for the second time this season by clarinetist David Shifrin on November 20, 2026, as they perform a concert presented by Fontana Chamber Arts in Kalamazoo, MI. The quartet opens the program with Haydn's Quartet in D major, before being joined by Shifrin for Alan Shulman 's Rendezvous for Clarinet and Strings, Benny Goodman 's Swing Arrangements by David Schiff, and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A major.

On December 1, 2026, the quartet appears at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, a historic church and monastery in St. Meinrad, IN. The program includes key works from acclaimed Miró albums – Kevin Puts's Home, from their 2024 GRAMMY-nominated album of the same name, and Ginastera's String Quartet No. 2, from their 2025 album of the composer's complete quartets – along with Puccini's work Chrysanthemums and Haydn's Quartet in D major.

On May 2, 2027, the quartet is joined by violinist Jennifer Frautschi and mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz for an encore performance of Intonations: Songs from the Violins of Hope, the powerful 2020 song cycle commissioned by Music at Kohl Mansion from GRAMMY Award–winning composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer . Inspired by a remarkable collection of restored Holocaust-era instruments, the powerful work gives voice to stories of resilience, remembrance, and hope in this performance on the eve of Yom HaShoah, a time of Holocaust remembrance. The program also includes Beethoven's String Quartet No. 16 in F Major and Kevin Puts's Home.
