Mivos Quartet:

The Mivos Quartet is devoted to bringing incredible new string quartet music, in all its variety, to diverse audiences worldwide. Since its founding in 2008, the quartet has performed and closely collaborated with established and emerging composers representing a broad range of demographics and compositional aesthetics. Mivos commissions and premieres new music for string quartet, while also sustainably nurturing the repertoire by offering repeat performances of new works in their regular touring season. The quartet strives for deep, meaningful collaborations with composers for each new work and project. Beyond building the string quartet repertoire, Mivos expands the capabilities of the ensemble by regularly working with guest artists from varied, overlapping traditions and genres. The quartet curates concert programs that they would want to hear – pieces of music that complement each other and offer audiences a rich, powerful and meaningful listening experience.
