Formed in Israel in 1998, the Ariel Quartet was coached by violinist Avi Abramovich, a leading teacher in Israel, and present head of the string department at the Jerusalem Academy of Music. Since 2004, the group has studied at New England Conservatory under the tutelage of Kim Kashkashian, Paul Katz and, this year, Martha Strongin Katz. All four of the players are 22 years old. Gerchikov and Even-Tov are Israeli natives; Kazovsky and Tarashchansky emigrated as children to Israel from Russia and Ukraine respectively.

The Ariel String Quartet debuted in 2000 at the Jerusalem Music Centre, going on to perform at venues including the Musée du Louvre, the Kennedy Centre, and Boston’s Jordan Hall. Grand Prize winners of the 2006 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, they placed first in the 2003 Franz Schubert and the Music of Modernity Competition in Graz, Austria in 2003. The quartet was one of the ten finalists at the 2007 Banff International String Quartet Competition and were awarded the Székley Prize for the best performance of a Bartok Quartet.
