“With Owls, classical is alive and well.” The New York Times

A quartet collective where each member is an artistic force in their own right, Owls has been dubbed “a dream group” by The New York Times for their original, visceral performances that defy expectations. Lovingly translating folk, jazz, minimalism, Baroque and new music into their distinctive instrumentation, the quartet will perform a wide-ranging program of works that foregrounds their innovative approach to the quartet repertoire.
