Intriguing programs of great beauty and breadth have distinguished the PRISM Quartet as one of America's foremost chamber ensembles. PRISM PRISM Quartetpresents the saxophone as a serious concert instrument while embracing its rich history in jazz and popular music. Chosen by Musical America as "Outstanding Young Artists" and winners of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, PRISM has performed on Entertainment Tonight, National Public Radio, and in Alice Tully Hall with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. In 1995, PRISM toured Latin America under the auspices of the United States Information Agency. Most recently, PRISM has been presented to critical acclaim as soloists with orchestras nationwide, including the Cleveland, Dallas, and Detroit Symphony Orchestras, performing William Bolcom's Concerto Grosso, commissioned by the Quartet in 2000.

Founded in 1984, the PRISM Quartet has served as Artists-in-Residence at Settlement Music School and the Free Library of Philadelphia since 1994. PRISM has recorded for Koch International Classics and Innova and may be heard weekly in the featured music to the new PBS series, "NOW with Bill Moyers."
