Quartet Aido was founded by four graduate students at the USC Thornton School of Music in order to pursue their shared passion for chamber performance. Members of the quartet have been prize winners at several national competitions, including the Midwest Conservatory Concerto Competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, and the Norman Cooper International Chamber Music Competition, and have been selected to be fellows at music festivals like the Music Academy of the West, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and Spoleto Festival.
