For more than a decade\, the Cali dore has enjoyed performances and residencies in the world’s major venue s and festivals\, released multiple critically acclaimed recordings\, and won numerous awards. The Los Angeles Times described the musicians as “a stonishing\,” their playing “shockingly deep\,” approaching “the k ind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching.” The New Yor k Times noted the Quartet’s “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepress ible dramatic instinct\,” and the Washington Post wrote that “four mor e individual musicians are unimaginable\, yet these speak\, breathe\, thin k\, and feel as one”.\n\nThe New York City based Calidore String Quartet has appeared in venues throughout North America\, Europe\, and Asia\, inc luding Lincoln Center\, Carnegie Hall\, Kennedy Center\, London’s Wigmor e Hall\, Berlin’s Konzerthaus\, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw\, Brussels ’ BOZAR\, and at major festivals such as the BBC Proms\, Verbier\, Ravin ia\, Music@Menlo\, Rheingau\, and Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Alway s seeking new commissioning opportunities\, the Quartet has given world pr emieres of works by Caroline Shaw\, Anna Clyne\, Huw Watkins\, and Mark-An thony Turnage and collaborated with artists such as Anne- Sophie Mutter\, Anthony McGill\, Jean-Yves Thibaudet\, Marc-André Hamelin\, Joshua Bell\, Emerson String Quartet\, Lawrence Power\, David Finckel\, and Wu Han.\n\n Highlights of the 2023-24 season included return appearances at the Chambe r Music Society of Lincoln Center and People’s Symphony in New York as w ell as concerts in Seattle\, Palm Beach\, Ottawa\, Toronto\, Kalamazoo\, a nd a European tour of United Kingdom\, Estonia\, and Germany. In the 2024- 25 season\, the Calidore returns to the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln C enter and the University of Delaware to perform the complete String Quarte ts of Beethoven. The quartet will also return to their alma mater\, the Co lburn School in Los Angeles\, where they will play the complete cycle of K orngold String Quartets. Other highlights of the 2024-25 season include ap pearances with San Francisco Performances\, the Celebrity Series of Boston \, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society\, the Warsaw Philharmonic\, and BBC Radio at London’s Wigmore Hall\; and premieres and performances of w orks by Han Lash\, Sebastian Currier\, Xavier Foley\, and Gabriela Montero .\n\nIn their most ambitious recording project to date\, the Calidore is s et to release the final two volumes of Beethoven’s complete String Quart ets for Signum Records in the 24-25 season. Volume I\, containing the late quartets\, was released in 2023 to great critical acclaim\, earning the q uartet BBC Music Magazine’s Chamber Award in 2024. The magazine’s five -star review noted that the Calidore’s performances “penetrate right t o the heart of the music” and “can stand comparison with the best.” Their previous recordings on Signum include Babel (with music by Schumann\ , Shaw\, and Shostakovich)\, and Resilience (with works by Prokofiev\, Jan áček\, Golijov\, and Mendelssohn).\n\nThe Calidore String Quartet was fo unded at the Colburn School in Los Angeles in 2010. Within two years\, the quartet won grand prizes in virtually all the major US chamber music comp etitions\, including the Fischoff\, Coleman\, Chesapeake\, and Yellow Spri ngs competitions\, and it captured top prizes at the 2012 ARD Internationa l Music Competition in Munich and the International Chamber Music Competit ion Hamburg. The Quartet first made international headlines as the winner of the $100\,000 Grand Prize of the 2016 M-Prize International Chamber Mus ic Competition and was the first and only North American ensemble to win t he Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. The Calidore was also named a BBC Ra dio 3 New Generation Artist and in 2018\, was awarded the Avery Fisher Car eer Grant\, having won the Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award a year pri or.
