So well deserved – one of the most promising and interesting quartets at the moment!
No slight against this quartet, but a $100K prize seems a rather fusty, old-school ploy for someone like Aaron Dworkin to use as his opening gambit as dean of UMich. Given his track record at the Sphinx Organization, I would have hoped for something more radical and boundary-pushing than this.
Congratulations and best wishes to the Calidore!
