“Unlike anything its intended audience—or anyone else—has ever heard” (Gramophone), the Spektral Quartet reveals the hidden nuances of the classic string quartet repertoire while opening the door to the visionary music of our day. The ensemble has been praised by The New York Times for its “supreme technical command that seems to come easily” and its “capacity to make complicated music clear.” Among its many unique initiatives is Mobile Miniatures, a project for which the quartet commissioned more than 40 composers to write ringtone-length pieces that were made available for download to mobile devices.
