Formed in 2010, PUBLIQuartet injects fresh perspective into the world of Classical music. Graduates of The Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music, and Mannes College of Music, each member contributes to a collective background in classical, jazz, world and electro acoustic performance. They aim to present music from the classical cannon, contemporary compositions, and open-form improvisations which extend the stylistic norms of the traditional string quartet. PUBLIQuartet has been presented by the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra, the “Ear Heart Music” series, and were the featured artists for the Socrates Sculpture Park's annual Gala, supporting their endeavor to encourage “strong interaction between artists, artworks and the public.” They have performed at such venues as Lincoln Center, the WMP Concert Hall, Cornelia Street Cafe, Norwalk Symphony Hali, and numerous historical community spaces in NYC. PQ supports their artistic community by presenting New York City’s emerging and established composers, as well as providing educational workshops to teach string improvisation. Members of PQ have worked with the Juilliard, Manhattan, Miró, Orion, Borromeo, and Muir String Quartets. This season, PQ will be the featured artists in the "Composer's Voice" concert series, "Harlem House Concerts", and the Queens College New Music composer's concert.
