Chautauqua Chamber Music: Poiesis Quartet at Chautauqua Institution
Route 394, Chautauqua, NY 14722
Founded 2022, the Poiesis Quartet is the 2023 Grand Prize winner of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Within their first year playing together, they also received Fischoff’s Senior Strings Gold Medal and the Lift Every Voice prizes, and Gold Medal and BIPOC Prize at the 2023 St. Paul String Quartet Competition. As a string quartet made up of inter- and multi-disciplinary young artists, Poiesis seeks to program music of all styles and genres and expand the traditional quartet setting with an emphasis on platforming works by emerging and underrepresented composers. The Poiesis Quartet strives to create unique moments of synchronicity, sensitivity, and verve in each performance.
