The Borromeo Quartet has performed a vast repertoire worldwide and collaborated with many of today’s most notable composers and performers.
Well-known for having an innovative approach to the classical genre, the Borromeo Quartet has gained acclaim for its unique use of laptop computers for reading music.
This method has allowed the group to perform reading from the full score and to share their notes on manuscripts using projections to vividly illustrate the quartet’s creative process.
The group, which teaches students around the world, has been the faculty ensemble-in-residence at the New England Conservatory for 22 years.
Throughout an illustrious career, the Borromeo Quartet has received various musical awards including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Martin E.
Segal Award, and the Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award.
WGBH Radio recently hailed the Borromeo Quartet as “champions of new music” who “thrive on making the old classics sound vital and fresh.”
