Admired and sought after for both its fresh interpretations of the c lassical music canon and its championing of works by 20th- and 21st-centur y composers\, the ensemble has been hailed for its “edge-of-the-seat per formances\,” by the Boston Globe\, which called it “simply the best. ”\n\nInspiring audiences for more than 25 years\, the Borromeo continues to be a pioneer in its use of technology\, and has the trailblazing disti nction of being the first string quartet to utilize laptop computers on th e concert stage. Reading music this way helps push artistic boundaries\, a llowing the artists to perform solely from 4-part scores and composers’ manuscripts\, a revealing and metamorphic experience which these dedicated musicians now teach to students around the world. As the New York Times  noted\, “The digital tide washing over society is lapping at the shore s of classical music. The Borromeo players have embraced it in their daily musical lives like no other major chamber music group.” Moreover\, the Quartet often leads discussions enhanced by projections of handwritten man uscripts\, investigating with the audience the creative process of the com poser. And in 2003 the Borromeo became the first classical ensemble to mak e its own live concert recordings and videos\, distributing them for many years to audiences through its Living Archive\, a music learning web porta l for which a new version will soon be released.\n\nPassionate educators\, the Borromeos encourage audiences of all ages to explore and listen to bo th traditional and contemporary repertoire in new ways. The ensemble uses multi-media tools such as video projection to share the often surprising c reative process behind some works\, or to graphically show the elaborate a rchitecture behind others. This produces delightfully refreshing viewpoint s and has been a springboard for the Quartet’s acclaimed young people’ s programs. One such program is Mathemusica which delves into the numerica l relationships that under-pin the sounds of music and shows how musical s yntax mirrors natural forms. Classic Video uses one movement of a quartet as the platform from which to teach computer drawing\, video editing\, ani mation\, musical form\, and production processes to create a meaningful un ion of music and visual art.\n\nThe Borromeo String Quartet has been ensem ble-in-residence at the New England Conservatory and Taos School of Music for 25 years. It has also\, for over two decades\, enjoyed a long-term rel ationship with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum where it continues to a ppear regularly. It is quartet-in-residence at the Heifetz International M usic Institute\, where first violinist Nicholas Kitchen is Artistic Direct or. The quartet was also in residence at the Library of Congress (highligh ting both its manuscripts and instrument collections)\, and the Chamber Mu sic Society of Lincoln Center. The ensemble joined the Emerson Quartet as the Hittman Ensembles in Residence at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore\, and was recently in residence at Kansas University\, the San Francisco Co nservatory\, and Colorado State University.\n\nThe Quartet’s presentatio n of the cycle of Bartók String Quartets as well as its lecture “Bartó k: Paths Not Taken” gives audiences a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear a set of rediscovered alternate movements Béla Bartók drafted for his si x Quartets. Describing a Bartók concert at the Curtis Institute\, the Ph iladelphia Inquirer wrote that the quartet “performed at a high standar d that brought you so deeply into the music's inner workings that you wond ered if your brain could take it all in ... The music's mystery\, violence \, and sorrow become absolutely inescapable.”\n\nAlso noteworthy within Borromeo’s repertory are dramatic discoveries within the manuscripts of the Beethoven Quartets\; its performances of the Complete Cycle\; the Beet hoven Decathlon (four concerts of Beethoven’s last ten quartets\, with a ccompanying lectures that explore his manuscripts)\; and the Beethoven Try ptich concerts. The Quartet’s expansive repertoire also includes the Sho stakovich Cycle.\, and those of Mendelssohn\, Dvořák\, Brahms\, Schumann \, Schoenberg\, Janáček\, Lera Auerbach\, Tchaikovsky\, and Gunther Schu ller.\n\nThe Quartet has collaborated with some of this generation’s mos t important composers\, including Gunther Schuller\, John Cage\, György L igeti\, Steve Reich\, Aaron Jay Kernis\, Osvaldo Golijov\, Jennifer Higdon \, Steve Mackey\, John Harbison\, Sebastian Currier\, and Leon Kirchner\; and it has performed on major concert stages across the globe\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Berlin Philharmonie\, Wigmore Hall\, Suntory Hall (Tok yo)\, The Concertgebouw\, Seoul Arts Center\, Shanghai Oriental Arts Cente r\, the Incontri in Terra di Siena Chamber Music Festival in Tuscany\, Kam mermusik Basel (Switzerland)\, the Prague Spring Festival\, and the Haydn Festival in Eisenstadt.\n\nThe group recently premiered new works written for it by Sebastian Currier and Aaron Jay Kernis at recitals at Carnegie H all\, Shriver Concerts\, and the Tippet Rise Art Center. The ensemble cont inues to perform violinist Nicholas Kitchen's transcriptions of Bach’s G oldberg Variations and the Well-Tempered Clavier Bk. I. In the latter case \, Borromeo recently released an acclaimed premiere recording which hit th e Billboard charts.\n\n“Nothing less than masterful” (Cleveland.com)\, the Borromeo Quartet has received numerous awards throughout its illustri ous career\, including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant and Ma rtin E. Segal Award\, and Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Awar d. It was also a recipient of the Young Concert Artists International Audi tions and a prize-winner at the International String Quartet Competition i n Evian\, France.\n\nhttps://www.borromeoquartet.org/\n\nThe Borromeo Stri ng Quartet is represented by Dworkin &\; Company: http://dworkincompany .com/site/\n\n \;\n\nClick here for more information about our chamber music programs.\n\nChamber Music at the Clark is made possible by the gen erous support of The Ahmanson Foundation\; The Colburn Foundation\; Martha Bardach\; Catherine Glynn Benkaim\, Ph.D. and Barbara Timmer\; Dr. Marla C.
