The Ariel Quartet performs the complete cycle of Beethoven's string quartets, a project the ensemble first undertook in Cincinnati and has since presented across the United States and Europe, completing the full cycle before any of its members turned 30. They have performed the cycle in Berlin and for Napa's Music in the Vineyards Festival, and presented a Beethoven cycle at New York's SubCulture that included a midnight performance of the Grosse Fuge.
