  • Alexander Pavlovsky - first violin
  • Sergei Bresler - second violin
  • Ori Kam - viola
  • Kyril Zlotnikov - cello. Zlotnikov performs on a cello loaned to him by Daniel Barenboim, an instrument which was formerly played by Jacqueline du Pré.
  • Protests

    Due to the ensemble's name and their being perceived as cultural ambassadors for Israel, the Jerusalem Quartet has been subject to protests during their performances. In 2010 a performance at London's Wigmore Hall which was being broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 was disrupted by multiple hecklers. The broadcast had to be halted.
