Calidore String Quartet

Gramophone Magazine called the Calidore String Quartet “a miracle of unified thought.” This vibrant, young ensemble won the 2016 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, the first North Americans to be so honored. The ensemble continues to earn high praise, including a place on the prestigious roster of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Two. Catch this extraordinary ensemble in performance tonight at Northwestern University’s Winter Chamber Music Festival.
