The Calidore Quartet’s ”deep reserves of virtuosity and irresistible dramatic instinct” (New York Times) and ”balance of intellect and expression” (Los Angeles Times) has won them recognition worldwide. The ensemble has been the subject of a rather extraordinary shower of prizes, to include the Avery Fisher Prize and the M Prize of $100,000, the world’s largest prize for chamber music. The Calidore Quartet regularly performs at the most prestigious venues – highlights of the 2017-18 season include debuts at the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall and BBC Proms as well as concerts in Boston, Philadelphia, Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Barcelona.

In October 2018, their debut album for Signum Records is released and contains the music played in this concert, which Calidore have titled ’Music and Conflict’.
