The Calder Quartet
Sunday | April 26 | 4PM
Hailed as "superb" and "imaginative, skillful creators" by the New York Times, the Calder Quartet captivates audiences, exploring a broad spectrum of repertoire, always striving to fulfill the composer's vision in its performances. The group's distinctive artistry is exemplified by a musical curiosity brought to everything they perform, and has led them to be called "one of America's most satisfying--and most enterprising--quartets." Winners of the prestigious 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, they are widely known for the discovery, commissioning, recording and mentoring of some of today's best emerging composers.

Each piece unique and spellbinding.
