About the Ensemble
The Callisto Quartet has been praised for their “lush
intensity and bravado” and the “cohesion and intonation one might expect from an ensemble
twice their age” (Third Coast Review). The American/Canadian Callisto Quartet brings
together four musicians who share a deep passion for bringing chamber music to audiences
around the world.
Since its inception in 2016, Callisto has garnered top prizes in nearly every major international chamber music competition and has been hailed by audiences across the globe. Grand Prize winners of the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Second Prize Winners of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Callisto Quartet has also taken home prizes from the Bordeaux, Melbourne, and Wigmore Hall competitions. They have previously held residencies at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music and the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain.
The Callisto Quartet maintains an active touring and performing schedule, which has included notable appearances in Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Schneider Concert Series, Ravinia Festival, and the Heidelberg String Quartet Festival.
The Callisto Quartet is managed exclusively by Earl Blackburn of Kanzen Arts.
