Calidore String Quartet: Korngold’s Complete String Quartets

The acclaimed Calidore String Quartet returns to its alma mater to perform the complete cycle of Korngold’s String Quartets. Winner of BBC Music Magazine’s 2024 Chamber Award, Calidore has been praised for its “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” (New York Times). Korngold’s three string quartets are technically challenging, with melodies that harken to the composer’s successful film music career and vastly different styles and textures.
