New Horizons: Balourdet Quartet

The Balourdet Quartet, recipient of Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young ensembles before the public, recognized for its vibrant energy, technical precision, and immediacy of expression. This New Horizons program features a Friends of Chamber Music co-commission by American composer Eric Nathan, whose music has been praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “as diverse as it is arresting” and marked by a “constant vein of ingenuity and expressive depth.” Together with other works by living composers, the program celebrates the spirit of discovery and artistic adventure that keeps chamber music a living and breathing art form.
