The Calidore String Quartet is an internationally performing classical music string quartet based in New York City. The Calidore is composed of violinists Jeffrey Myers and Ryan Meehan, violist Jeremy Berry and cellist Estelle Choi. Formed at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in 2010, the quartet won the grand prize at the inaugural 2016 M-Prize Competition, sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance. The $100,000 M-Prize was, at the time, the largest chamber-music award in the world. In February 2016, the Calidore String Quartet became the first North American ensemble to receive a fellowship from the London-based Borletti-Buitoni Trust. Within their first two years, the quartet won the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the Coleman National Chamber Music Competition, and they earned top prizes at the 2012 ARD Munich String Quartet Competition and the Hamburg International Chamber Music Competition. In 2018, the Calidore Quartet received an Avery Fisher Career Grant. The quartet was artist-in-residence at Stony Brook University from 2014 to 2016.
