Miró Quartet is one of America’s highest-profile chamber groups, captivating audiences around the world. The Miró has been widely acclaimed for its thoughtful expressivity and imaginative interpretations as well as its “explosive vigor and technical finesse” (The New York Times). The quartet became the first ensemble ever to be awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2005. Now nearing its 30th anniversary, the ensemble takes pride in discovering new ways to communicate with audiences of all backgrounds while cultivating the long-standing tradition of chamber music.

Note from the Artists

Miró Quartet

“This program centers around the new string quartet written for us by composer Caroline Shaw, Microfictions [Volume 1]. Its evocative mixture of spoken text and instrumental sound inspires the listener to hear the images and feel the textures in the music. Framing this work on each side with Haydn and late Beethoven both puts Shaw’s bold new style into context, as well as challenges the audience to hear these two more familiar voices in a deeper and more complex way.”
