A vibrant snapshot of today’s string quartet—fresh, bold, and boundary-defying.

A program of works all written in the last decade, each offering a distinct lens on modern composition. Longtime collaborator Sam Adams’ String Quartet No. 3 glows with minimalist ferocity and serenity. Taylor Rankin’s electroacoustic pieces, originally recorded by Friction for his film Snow Leopard, blur the lines between acoustic and electronic soundscapes. Juri Seo’s Just Intonation Etudes unfold hidden harmonies waiting to be heard, and bassoonist Jamael Smith joins for a special arrangement of Marcelo Nisinman’s Rui’s Tango - tango like you’ve never experienced before.
