Publiquartet July 23, 2012

Formed in Spring 2010, PUBLIQuartet aims to present the contemporary voices of New York City. With a focus on newly composed works by New York City's emerging as well as established composers, PUBLIQuartet has performed in a variety of venues. Through creative and interactive programming, as well as a deep commitment to audience inclusion, PUBLIQuartet injects fresh perspective into the Classical music scene. Hailing from the Juilliard school, the Mannes College of Music, and the Eastman School of Music, Jessie Montgomery and Curtis Stewart, violins, Nick Revel, viola, and Amanda Gookin, cello, contribute a collective background in classical, jazz, world and electro acoustic performance. PUBLIQuartet presents standard and rare music from the classical repertoire, as well as contemporary compositions and open-form improvisations that expand, explore and extend the stylistic norms of the traditional string quartet.
