The Carpe Diem String Quartet |
|
The Carpe Diem String Quartet is quickly becoming the premiere American "Indie" string quartet. The group performs
the classical string quartet repertoire, but their musical passion has led them down the paths of Gypsy, tango, folk,
pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music. Their inventive school and outreach programs even make use of video game songs,
along with TV and movie theme music such as "The Simpsons." Carpe Diem's latest disc was selected for the 2009 Grammy Awards Entry List in no fewer than four categories: Best Classical Album, Best Chamber Music Performance, Best New Artist, and Best Engineered Album-Classical. Carpe Diem String Quartet, in residence at Ohio Wesleyan University, is an exciting group that has captured the imagination of audiences, the respect of critics, and is becoming one of the most versatile ensembles of their generation. |
