Borromeo String Quartet

Join the renowned Borromeo String Quartet for an unforgettable evening of musical mastery, featuring two works composed specifically for the ensemble: Mehmet Sanlikol’s evocative The Demons and Humans of Siyah-Kalem, a vivid exploration of myth and humanity, and Aaron Kernis’s String Quartet No. 4: Oasis, a luminous journey of serenity and depth. The program culminates in Beethoven’s profound Opus 130 with the iconic Grosse Fuge, a timeless masterpiece of intensity and innovation that is often cited as the greatest work of music ever composed. Don’t miss this extraordinary blend of contemporary brilliance and classical genius, performed by one of the world’s premier quartets.

About Borromeo String Quartet
The visionary performances of the Borromeo String Quartet have established them as one of the most important string quartets of our time. “They probe and analyze from every angle until they discover how to best unveil the psychological, physical, and spiritual states that a great piece of music evokes. They’re champions of new music…but they also thrive on making the old classics sound vital and fresh,” said Cathy Fuller, Classical New England host on WGBH radio. She continued, “To hear and see them perform has always felt to me like taking a private tour through a composer’s mind.” The Borromeo have been trailblazers in the use of laptop computers for reading music. This method allows them to perform entirely from 4-part scores and also composer’s manuscripts, a revealing and transformative experience that they now teach to students around the world.

The Quartet has received many awards throughout their illustrious career, including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant and Martin E. Segal Award, and Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award. They won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and top prizes at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France.
