calder quartet
Whether they’re performing
with Thomas Adès, party rocker
Andrew W K or appearing on
David Letterman, USA’s Calder
Quartet is blazing new ground
Inspired by the innovative American artist
Alexander Calder, the Calder Quartet is
renowned for performing traditional quartet
repertoire as well as partnering with modern
composers, emerging musicians and performers
across genres.
The quartet members were originally drawn
together by their love of Austro-German
composers like Haydn and Beethoven but have
since developed long-standing relationships with
contemporary composers such as Terry Riley
and Christopher Rouse as well as Thomas Adès,
whose music they have performed and recorded
to great acclaim.
While maintaining their roots in the classics, the
Calder Quartet have expanded their repertoire in
recent years to include more contemporary music,
new commissions and collaborations. Music lovers
are in for a real treat with this special solo show.
