The American-Canadian Callisto Quartet, praised for its “lush intensity and bravado” and exceptional cohesion well beyond their years, has rapidly gained international acclaim since forming in 2016 at the Cleveland Institute of Music, winning top prizes including the 2018 Fischoff Grand Prize and 2019 Banff Second Prize, and holding residencies at elite institutions like Yale and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. Celebrated for performing works like Haydn’s “Emperor” Quartet, Brahms’ Quartet in A Minor, and Joan Tower’s *Red Maple* for bassoon and string quartet, they showcase a commitment to chamber music excellence. Bassoonist Peter Kolkay, the only recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant for bassoon, complements them with “superb” and “stunningly virtuosic” performances, premiering new works by composers such as Joan Tower and engaging in high-profile chamber music series and festivals, including a 2023/24 album release with the Calidore Quartet and notable residencies.
