Mivos Quartet
The Mivos Quartet, “one of America’s most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles” (Chicago Reader), is devoted to performing works of contemporary composers and presenting new music to diverse audiences. Q&A to follow (Attend Q&A). Free.
Since the quartet’s beginnings in 2008, it has performed and collaborated with an ever-expanding group of international composers representing multiple aesthetics of contemporary classical composition. Every year, the quartet awards the Mivos/Kanter String Quartet Composition Prize, established to support the work of emerging and mid-career composers, and the I-Creation prize, a competition for composers of Chinese descent. Beyond expanding the string quartet repertoire, Mivos is also committed to working with guest artists, exploring multimedia projects involving live video and electronics, and performing improvised music. The quartet won the 2019 Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Prize for Interpreters of Contemporary Music.
