Experience the bold, expressive sound of the Poesis Quartet, Grand Prize winner at the 2023 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Formed in 2022 at Oberlin, the Quartet has swiftly risen to prominence, joining the Concert Artists Guild roster in 2024. Renowned for their cohesive artistry and adventurous programming, the group lives up to its name—poesis, from the Greek “to make”—with performances that forge new paths in chamber music. Dedicated to championing the voices of emerging and historically underrepresented composers, the Poesis Quartet brings this vibrant mission to life in their Caramoor residency.

Poiesis Quartet

The Rosen House at Caramoor

Winners of the 2024 Concert Artists Guild Competition and one of the most exciting young ensembles on the national scene, the Poiesis Quartet brings their radiant energy and “extraordinary, honeyed group sound” (Cleveland Classical) to Noe Music in their SF debut. Their program, Regeneration, explores resilience, healing, and cultural memory through a vivid mix of contemporary and 20th century music. From Michi Wiancko’s lush environmental meditation and a bold new commission by Kevin Lau, to Billy Childs’s deeply personal Awakening and Prokofiev’s folk-inspired wartime Quartet in F major, this concert is a powerful journey through sound, emotion, and transformation.
