Erinys String Quartet

The Erinys Quartet was founded in 2018 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki where they worked closely with cellist Marko Ylönen. They are currently the graduate string quartet-in-residence at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

Erinys Quartet was awarded the First Prize at the 2025 Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in Norway, in addition to other awards. They have presented concerts throughout the United States and Europe, including debuts at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland.

Artistic director and international clarinetist Oskar Espina Ruiz will join the Erinys Quartet. Mr. Espina Ruiz has emerged as one of the leading clarinetists of his generation, praised as a concerto soloist at the Casals Festival for his “masterful virtuosity” (El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico), and admired for his “rhapsodic ease” and “generous, tender warmth” (The Millbrook Independent) in chamber music collaborations with the top string quartets and piano trios of our time.
