Formed based on Olivier Messiaen’s seminal Quartet for the End of Time, The Anzû Quartet is comprised of musicians from Bang on a Can, Mivos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, and Bearthoven. The group is dedicated to commissioning and premiering new works of unique instrumentation.
After touring US and Europe, with Anna Webber’s Adjust, the Anzû Quartet will make an NYC premiere of works by Ryan Carter, Mario Diaz de Leon, and Anna Webber.
One of the first major pieces Webber has composed for an ensemble, Adjust tackles the meeting of the composed and improvised music worlds in a thrilling five-part work.
Diaz de Leon’s Tree of Life is an ecotheologically motivated response to the Quatuor pour la fin du temps inspired by Rev 22:1-2.
Ryan Carter’s Frictionless Objects incorporates wild extended techniques and expanded tonality in an emotive ten-minute work.

Bourgie Hall presents
Considered one of the most progressive and dynamic new music ensembles, the Mivos Quartet carries on the legacy of the Kronos Quartet. After reworking Steve Reich’s music for string quartet with the composer and then recording it for Deutsche Grammophon, the Mivos Quartet will perform the entire works for this ensemble by one of the pioneers of minimalist music.

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 7:30 PM Zankel Hall
Cécile McLorin Salvant’s most daring and multifaceted creation yet, Ogresse is a musical and theatrical tour-de-force by an incomparable artist. It is a haunting, wryly humorous, and “staggeringly original” (The Wall Street Journal) work that blends jazz, chamber music, opera, art song, and many generations of storytelling traditions into a whole that feels at once ancient and cutting edge. Featuring Salvant’s original libretto, costumes of her own design, visual projections, and an ensemble led by Darcy James Argue, this is a true passion project that continues to evolve with each performance. Take advantage of the opportunity to experience it in the dynamic Zankel Hall.

Gegründet 2008 in New York gehört das Mivos Quartet zu den führenden Ensembles für Neue Musik. Anliegen ist die Erweiterung des Streichquartett-Repertoires, aber auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Gastkünstler*innen, Multimedia-Projekte und Aufführungen improvisierter Musik. Der Jazz-Pianist, Komponist und Instrumentenbauer Georg Vogel befasste sich intensiv mit alternativen Stimmungen von Tasteninstrumenten und mit Naturintervallen jenseits des Quint-Terz-Systems. Sein Werk für das Mivos Quartet bezieht das selbstgebaute Claviton mit 31 Stufen pro Oktave in die Improvisation mit ein.
