Reno wned for its dynamic interpretations and polished\, expansive colors\, the group has rapidly distinguished itself as one of the preeminent ensembles of its generation\, dedicated purely to the sound and depth of their musi c. The Quartet has appeared at the world’s most important venues since i ts founding in 2002.\n\nThe Parker Quartet is now in its eighth year as th e Blodgett Artists-in-Residence at Harvard University\, serving as faculty members in the Department of Music. Recent seasons included performances and residencies around the United States and Europe\, including at the 92n d Street NY\, Lincoln Center\, the University of Chicago\, Wigmore Hall\, the University of South Carolina\, the Schubert Club\, and Skidmore Colleg e.\n\nThe Quartet has been influential in projects ranging from the premie re of a new octet by Zosha di Castri alongside the JACK Quartet at the Ban ff Centre for Arts and Creativity\; to the premiere of Augusta Read Thomas ’s Helix Spirals\, a piece inspired by the Meselson-Stahl DNA replicatio n discovery\; to the “Schubert Effect\,” in collaboration with pianist Shai Wosner at the 92nd Street NY. The Quartet also continues to be a str ong supporter of their friend and frequent collaborator Kim Kashkashian’ s project Music for Food by participating in concerts throughout the Unite d States for the benefit of various food banks and shelters.\n\nThe Quarte t has been particularly focused on recording projects.
