Quodlibet Ensemble, a string chamber orchestra comprised of some of today's most sought-after musicians, seeks to bridge the gap between classical, romantic, and contemporary music by preserving elements of early performance practices and frequently working with living composers. The ensemble performs an eclectic evening of classical music featuring Heinrich von Biber’s 17th century evocative rendering of battle scenes, Vladimir Martynov’s unabashedly romantic Come In!, and the U.S. Premiere of Yevgeniy Sharlat’s jazzy, virtuosic homage to Bach’s English Suite.
Leadership support for music programming provided by the Anne and Chris Flowers Foundation and the Thompson Family Foundation.
