MoCA\CT Presents: Calidore String Quartet
Classical · Saturday, February 20, 2027 · 7:00 PM
In residence at Lincoln Center. This winter, in our galleries.
The string quartet was written for rooms exactly like ours. In residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Calidore String Quartet — hailed by The New York Times for its “deep reserves of virtuosity” and praised by The Los Angeles Times for “the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching for” — performs amid the contemporary art of MoCA\CT’s galleries, every bow stroke and breath at arm’s length. This is chamber music as it was meant to be heard: four musicians who “speak, breathe, think and feel as one” (The Washington Post), and an audience close enough to be drawn inside the conversation.
Winners of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and a BBC Music Magazine Award, recipients of the $100,000 M-Prize, and celebrated for their complete Beethoven cycle at Lincoln Center, the Calidore spotlight their acclaimed 2026 album American Tapestry — a sweeping survey of the American voice featuring Samuel Barber’s transcendent Adagio, Wynton Marsalis’s jazz-inflected At the Octoroon Balls, and the world-premiere quartet version of John Williams’s “With Malice Toward None,” arranged by the composer himself.
THE VIP EXPERIENCE
Arrive at 6:00 PM for an exclusive pre-concert reception in Gallery A — a private hour among the contemporary art with complimentary wine, craft cocktails, and a selection of artisanal hors d’oeuvres.
