Playing "Chamber Music in Any Chamber," the Chiara Quartet reaches from the concert hall into clubs, bars and galleries, expanding the places to hear live classical music while returning chamber music to its roots in
intimate spaces. Described by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as "vastly talented, vastly resourceful, and vastly committed to the music of their time," the Chiara is also continually finding new meaning within pieces
from the well-established quartet canon. Their style is best described as a nonstop journey to the edge of expressive possibility: "luminous," "searing," (New York Times) "soulful," "biting," and possessing a
"potent collective force" (Strings Magazine).
" Some artists just focus on the music they love and settle for earning points in heaven. And the Chiara String Quartet will earn many with Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout, by Peruvian American composer Gabriela Lena Frank (New Voice Singles). What a piece! Incredibly vivid ethnic imagery is contained in six tight, short movements"
