One of the most sought-after ensembles performing throughout the US, the Carpe Diem String Quartet has earned widespread critical acclaim. Carpe Diem defies easy classification with programming that includes classical, gypsy, tango, folk, pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music. The quartet appears on traditional concert series (Jordan Hall, Boston, MA; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Chautauqua Institute, Chautauqua, NY; Asolo Theater, Sarasota, FL) and unconventional venues (Poisson Rouge, NYC; Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, CA; Redlands Bowl, CA; The Mug & Brush, Columbus, OH). Carpe Diem has been awarded four transformative grants from the PNC Foundation for its community outreach in Central Ohio.www.carpediemstringquartet.com
