Pendereckistringquartet

The Penderecki String Quartet was formed in Poland in 1986. Their recent schedule has included concerts in New York, Amsterdam, St. Petersburg, Paris, Los Angeles, Atlanta, as well as appearances at international festivals in Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Venezuela, and China. The PSQ champions music of our time, performing a wide range of repertoire from Haydn to Zappa as well as premiering over 100 new works to date. Described by Fanfare Magazine as "an ensemble of formidable power and keen musical sensitivity", the PSQ's diverse discography includes the chamber music of Brahms and Shostakovich (Eclectra and Marquis labels) and the recently-release Bartok cycle. They enter their 15th year as Quartet-in-Residence at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada.
