Catalyst Quartet

Praised at its Carnegie Hall debut as “invariably energetic and finely burnished… playing with earthy vigor” [New York Times], the Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet performs Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s intrepid first string quartet, rousing works by Jessie Montgomery, and music by DC native George Walker. The quartet joins Efi Hackmey in Brahms’s tour de force piano quintet.
