Formed in 2015, the Ulysses String Quartet (Christina Bouey and Rhiannon Banerdt, violins; Peter Dudek, viola; Grace Ho, cello) has garnered international acclaim for its technical brilliance and adventurous programming. Winners of the 2019 Vietnam International Competition, they are GBH Music’s first quartet-in-residence and advocates for underrepresented composers. Their debut album, Shades of Romani Folklore, and educational outreach reflect their mission to make classical music accessible to all.
