In the words of the BBC Music Magazine, 'their playing has everything one could possibly wish for': since its debut in 1996, the Jerusalem Quartet has come to be recognized as one of the world's finest chamber music ensembles. Its collaborations include such exceptional musicians as Martin Fröst, Steven Isserlis, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Alexander Melnikov and Sir András Schiff.

The Jerusalem Quartet is a regular guest on the world's great concert stages. In Europe, the quartet has appeared in the Zürich Tonhalle, the Munich Herkulessaal, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Paris Salle Pleyel, as well as in special guest performances at the Auditorium du Louvre Paris, the Laeiszhalle Hamburg and as well festivals like Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Verbier Festival, Rheingau Musikfestival, and many more.

The Jerusalem Quartet records exclusively for Harmonia Mundi. The quartet's recordings of Haydn's string quartets and Schubert's Death and the Maiden have been honoured with numerous awards such as the Diapason d'Or, the BBC Music Magazine Award for chamber music, and the German ECHO Klassik Award. 

Gary Hoffman is one of the outstanding cellists of our time, combining instrumental mastery, great beauty of sound, and a poetic sensibility. He gained international renown on his victory as the first North American to win the Rostropovich International Competition in Paris in 1986. A frequent soloist with the world’s most noted orchestras, he has appeared with the Chicago, London, Montreal, Toronto, San Francisco, Baltimore, and National Symphony Orchestras as well as the English, Moscow, and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestras, the Orchestre National de France, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Netherlands and Rotterdam Philharmonics, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Gary Hoffman has collaborated with such celebrated conductors as André Previn, Charles Dutoit, Mstislav Rostropovich, Pinchas Zukerman, Andrew Davis, Herbert Blomstedt, Kent Nagano, Jesús López-Cobos, and James Levine. He performs on a 1662 Nicolò Amati cello, the ‘Ex-Leonard Rose’.
