In 1984, The PRISM Quartet decided to stop playing traditional French music and embarked on a new journey for the then limited instrument. Fast forward to the now two-time winners of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming and you’ll hear the difference. They blend influences from classical, jazz, traditional Chinese instruments, percussion ensembles, and electronic for their most current sound that is nothing short of original. Champions of new music, PRISM has commissioned over 150 works, many by internationally celebrated composers including Pulitzer Prize-winners, Guggenheim Fellows, a MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient, and jazz masters.
