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.
