Admired and sought after for both its fresh interpretations of the classical music canon and its championing of works by 20th and 21st century composers, the ensemble has been hailed for its “edge-of-the- seat performances,” by the Boston Globe, which called it “simply the best.”

Admired and sought after for both its fresh interpretations of the classical music canon and its championing of works by 20th and 21st century composers, the ensemble has been hailed for its “edge-of-the- seat performances,” by the Boston Globe, which called it “simply the best.”
PROGRAM:
Bach – Well Tempered Clavier, a selection of Preludes and Fugues
Ives – Quartet No. 2
Beethoven – String Quartet No. 8, Op. 59, No. 2
The Well-Tempered Clavier was arranged by the Borromeo’s violinist Nicholas Kitchen. They premiered the Bach at Carnegie hall in a recital they gave last fall and recorded it – it made the Billboard Charts (No. 14!).
Recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Borromeo continues to be a pioneer in its use of technology, and has the trailblazing distinction of being the first string quartet to utilize laptop computers on the concert stage. Reading music this way helps push artistic boundaries, allowing the artists to perform solely from 4-part scores and composers’ manuscripts, a revealing and metamorphic experience which these dedicated musicians now teach to students around the world.
