Catalyst Quartet

Shenandoah New Music

Hailed by The New York Times as “invariably energetic and finely burnished,” the Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet is redefining the classical music experience. Founded by the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Organization, the ensemble is driven by a belief in the unifying power of music and a passion for collaboration, innovation and inclusion.

Their dynamic program features works by some of today’s most compelling living composers — including Jessie Montgomery, Kevin Puts and Caroline Shaw, among others — culminating in a rare performance of CQminute, a powerful collection of commissioned miniatures celebrating the quartet’s first ten years together.
