One of the most
unique and sought-after chamber ensembles on the concert stage
today, the Carpe Diem String Quartet is a boundary-breaking
ensemble that has earned widespread critical and audience
acclaim for its innovative programming and electrifying
performances. Carpe Diem defies easy classification with
programming that reflects its passions for Gypsy, tango, folk,
pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music, and has become one of
America's premiere “indie” string quartets, without sacrificing
its commitment to the traditional quartet repertoire. From a
recent review "Until Saturday evening, I had never heard a
performance by one of these multilingual quartets where the
classical repertoire was delivered at a level that was
competitive with the finest traditional groups. But the Carpe
Diem Quartet, appearing at the Dumbarton Church, was
extraordinary. Among these contemporary quartets who speak in
different tongues, the Carpe Diem is the best one out there." (The
Washington Post, Washington, DC)
The quartet continues to rack up accolades and awards. For three
consecutive years, Carpe Diem was the only quartet in America
chosen to receive an ArtsAlive Award from the PNC Foundation,
and they received rave reviews such as: “This is an accomplished
ensemble with a distinctive sound and personality” (San Diego
Union Tribune); “One would have to search long and hard to find
a more charming and enjoyable chamber music concert. A number of
elements contributed to this end result, not the least of which
the superb musicianship of the four musicians - Carpe Diem is a
seriously talented quartet in the most traditional definition.”(Herald-Tribune,
Sarasota, FL).
Carpe Diem seeks out, and is sought after by, artists from many
different genres for collaborations. Carpe Diem’s diverse
musical partnerships include American
singer/songwriter/guitarist Willy Porter, Latin Grammy winner/bandoneón
player Raul Juarena, klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer, cellist
Yo Yo Ma, banjo virtuoso and Canadian Folk Music "Artist of the
Year" Jayme Stone, Dixieland trumpeter Tom Battenberg, Chinese
pipa player Yihan Chen, and world master of the Persian santoor
Dariush Saghafi. The quartet is the resident ensemble for
Columbus Dance Theatre, and their joint project The String
Machine was aired by WOSU-PBS television through 2007-2008, and
nominated for an Emmy award. Carpe Diem champions the music of
living composers, and has commissioned, premiered, and performed
works from a broad and stylistically diverse range of composers
including Frank Bennett, Lawrence Dillon, Danny Elfman, Ken
Fuchs, Korine Fujiwara, Osvaldo Golijov, Andre Hajdu, Donald
Harris, Jennifer Higdon, Jonathan Leshnoff, Nicholas Maw,
William Thomas McKinley, Clancy Newman, Carter Pann, Kevin
Putts, Eric Sawyer, Gunther Schuller, Richard Smoot, Bradley
Sowash, Reza Vali, and Bruce Wolosoff, among others.
