Carpe Diem String
Quartet
Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - 7:30 PM
A
classical string quartet that rocks?
Yes!
Carpe Diem String Quartet is an
exciting group that is becoming one
of the most versatile ensembles of
their generation.
The group performs the classical string quartet repertoire, but their musical
passion has led them down the paths of Gypsy, tango, folk, pop, rock, and
jazz-inspired music.
Carpe Diem’s latest disc was selected for the 2009 Grammy Awards Entry List
in no fewer than four categories: Best Classical Album, Best Chamber Music
Performance, Best New Artist, and Best Engineered Album-Classical. Recent ambitious projects include the
complete recordings of the nine string quartets of Sergey Taneyev
and collaboration with Columbus Dance Theater aired by WOSU-PBS television.
With outside-the-box programs, electrifying performances, and a passion for
audience engagement, Carpe Diem has earned critical acclaim and concert
ovation.
