“They have everything: a supreme technical command that seems to come easily, a capacity to make complicated music clear, and, most notably...an ability to cast a magic spell.” – New York Times

Three-time Grammy-nominated Spektral Quartet actively pursues a vivid conversation between exhilarating works of the traditional repertoire and those written this decade, this year, or this week.

The quartet is known for creating seamless connections across centuries, drawing in the listener with charismatic deliveries, interactive concert formats, an up-close atmosphere, and bold, inquisitive programming.

This performance will be highlighted by nine new works: a string quartet composed by Bernard Rands, plus a series of short pieces written by Chicago Composers' Consortium (C3) members in response to Bernard’s new work.

Co-sponsored by the Kalamazoo College Department of Music
