String Quartet No. 2, “Intimate Letters”

Recipient of a 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, the Calidore String Quartet first made international headlines as the winner of the Grand Prize of the 2016 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition. Following a “subtly nuanced” (Washington Classical Review) Kennedy Center debut in 2018, the quartet returns to the Terrace Theater for a program that shows off its “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” (The New York Times). Audiences will experience a new Kennedy Center commission by Grammy®–nominated composer Anna Clyne.
