Considered "simply the best there is" by The Boston Globe, the Borromeo String Quartet is one of the most sought-after string quartets in the world, each season performing more than one hundred concerts of classical and contemporary literature across three continents. Audiences and critics alike have championed the Borromeo Quartet's revealing explorations of the complete quartet cycles of Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartók, and its affinity for making challenging repertoire approachable.
Tonight's program, themed “inspiration from worlds far away,” will feature the premiere performance of Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol's The Demons & Humans of Siyah-Kalem (2024), commissioned by the quartet. Also on the program is the second movement of Gunther Schuller’s String Quartet No. 3, Aaron Jay Kernis’s String Quartet No. 4, “Oasis,” and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 15 in A Minor, op. 132.
