Collaborators have included Anne-Sophie Mutter\, Joshua Bell\, Anthony McGill\, Marc-André Hamelin\, Jean-Yves Thibaudet\, David Finckel and Wu Han\, the Emerson String Quartet\, and Quatuor Ébène\, among others. \nDedicated advocates for today’s music\, the Calidore has premiered works by Caroline Shaw\, John Williams\, Anna Clyne\, and Gabriela Montero\, to name a few. In the 2025–26 season\, they give the world premiere of a new quartet “Arietta” by Turnage at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. \nIn 2026\, the Calidore releases an all-American album on Signum Records featuring music by Barber\, Marsalis\, Korngold\, and John Williams. In 2025\, they unveil a landmark box set of the complete Beethoven string quartets\, recorded for Signum following their live cycle at Lincoln Center during the 2024–25 season. \nFormed in 2010 at the Colburn School in Los Angeles\, the Calidore has won top prizes at major US chamber music competitions\, including the Fischoff\, Coleman\, Chesapeake\, and Yellow Springs. In 2016\, they won the Grand Prize of the inaugural M-Prize International Chamber Music Competition as well as the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. Additional honors include the Avery Fisher Career Grant\, the Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award\, and selection as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists. \nCurrently the Distinguished String Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Delaware\, the Calidore has also held residencies at the University of Toronto\, University of Michigan\, and Stony Brook University. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Accommodations\nApp State is committed to providing an inclusive experience for individuals with disabilities.
