The internationally acclaimed ensemble: ‘Rachmaninoff String Quartet’ was established by award winning international concert cellist, music pedagogue and entertainer, Steve Kramer.
Steve Kramer is the award-winning recipient of the internationally prestigious Jacob Gade Foundation’s 36th Grand Prize. The prize supports an outstanding musician who possesses progressive and penetrating musicality and pizzazz and who desires to have a life-long career as a major international artist and performer.

He has performed contemporary music by composers Jennifer Higdon, David Finko, Ben Steinberg, Nimrod Borenstein, Daniel Dorff, Sidney Grolnic, Eleonor Sigal, Andrea Clearfield, Cynthia Folio, Eugene Magalif, Victor Frost and Ib Nørholm, as well as compositions by Scandinavian composers and composers who lost their lives in World Wars I & II.
