About this concert
Save your dietary cheat day for this extravagance: Spektral Quartet's glimpse into Schoenberg’s Vienna by way of your gullet. If you’re on the up-and-up with Chicago craft breweries, you’ve read the ink on Illuminated Brew Works. We’ll all be tucking into a custom draft created especially for this event, resurrecting an early 1900s Viennese recipe from the same era as Schoenberg’s second quartet...all with the Cliff Dwellers' magnificent downtown and Lake Michigan views as our backdrop, and world-class soprano Kiera Duffy in tow.

Spektral Quartet Biography
Two-time Grammy award nominees, the Spektral Quartet actively pursues a vivid conversation between exhilarating works of the past and the extraordinary works of today. With the New York Times writing that, “they have everything: a supreme technical command that seems to come easily, a capacity to make complicated music clear, and, most notably...an ability to cast a magic spell”, Spektral is regarded as one of the boldest ensembles working today.
Invited to take the stage at notable venues such as the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, American Academy in Rome, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, the quartet is also in demand for residencies at leading music schools around the country including Stanford University, New World Symphony, and Northwestern University. Distinguished by its stylistic versatility, Spektral Quartet enjoys collaborations with artists such as Theaster Gates, Miguel Zenón, and Nathalie Joachim, and frequently commissions new work from composers including Augusta Read Thomas, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, and George Lewis.
Named “Chicagoans of the Year 2017” by the Chicago Tribune, the quartet is proud to serve as Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Chicago’s Department of Music.
