Everything matters to us and we feel that by encouraging new ways of listening and collectively interpreting the landscape and language of classical music in the 21st century, our groups dexterity as an ensemble and our open approach to creating projects allows us to move seamlessly from the great pillars of the string quartet repertoire to experimental music with space for some of our own arrangements of folk music along the way.
