Aviv, meaning 'spring' in Hebrew, a signifier of new beginnings and the season of birth and fresh thinking encompasses the Aviv Quartet's artistic philosophy of stripping away artificial coverings "to reveal true nature, sharper definition and heightened awareness".

Its recordings for Naxos, including works by Franz Anton Hoffmeister, Erwin Schulhoff, Erno Dohnanyi and Franz Schubert have been highly acclaimed for their freshness of spirit vivacity, and top class quality of string quartet performing.
