Hailed as “rich” and “captivating” by the renowned music blog, “I Care If You Listen,” the Altius Quartet is quickly garnering an international reputation and enrapturing the hearts of audiences everywhere.

Classical string quartet, Altius, was the silver medalist at the 2014 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in South Bend, IN, and were first prize recipients at both the 2014 Coltman Chamber Music Competition in Austin, TX, and the 2013 Plowman Chamber Music Competition in Columbia, MO.  Altius has just competed at the Seventh Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition as one of eight string quartets selected worldwide.

Formed in 2011 at Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts, Altius holds the position as Fellowship String Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder, where they are mentored by the Takacs Quartet.  The quartet has an active performance schedule including engagements at music festivals, series, and universities throughout the United States.  Highlights of the 2015-16 season include: performances at Music at Kohl Mansion in San Francisco and California State University in Fullerton, residencies at the Fayetteville Chamber Music Festival, the Western Slope Concert Series, and participation in the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival as Shouse Artists.

During their tenure at Southern Methodist University, Altius Quartet served as Ensemble-in-Residence working closely with Matt Albert, Emanuel Borok, and Adres Diaz.  In addition, Altius has worked with and been guided by many of the foremost artists in chamber music including the Emerson String Quartet, Miro Quartet, Shanghai Quartet, Kronos Quartet, Arnold Steinhardt, Hakan Rosengren and James Dunham.

Join us at 5pm for a FREE family concert with the Altius Quartet!
