Praised as “superb” and “imaginative, skillful creators” (The New York Times), the Calder Quartet is celebrated for its bold artistry and adventurous programming. Known for performances that span the classical canon to cutting-edge contemporary works, they have been called “one of America’s most satisfying – and most enterprising – quartets” (Los Angeles Times).

Winners of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Calder Quartet is renowned for championing new music, commissioning and premiering works by leading composers such as Peter Eötvös, Andrew Norman, Christopher Rouse, and Ted Hearne. Their commitment to discovery and collaboration extends to performances of Beethoven and Bartók cycles and to projects with artists across genres, including Vampire Weekend, The National, and Lord Huron.

The ensemble has appeared at major venues and festivals worldwide — from Carnegie Hall, Disney Hall, and Lincoln Center to Wigmore Hall, Salzburg Festival, and the Sydney Opera House — and has performed with orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic. Their acclaimed recordings include works by Beethoven, Anders Hillborg, Thomas Adès, and Terry Riley.
