Description
Formed in 2020 and comprised of veterans of New York City's vital contemporary music community, the Anzu Quartet — Olivia De Prato (violin), Ashley Bathgate (cello), Ken Thomson (clarinet) and Karl Larson (piano) — is an ensemble dedicated to the music of our time and the recent canon. The quartet's first full-length studio release of premiere recordings features new works by Thomson (Uneasy) and fellow composer Anna Webber (adjust, which lends the album its title). Thomson's Uneasy is relentless, kinetic, and emotive, reflecting the pace and anxieties of modern life, while Webber's adjust explores the liminal space between classical contemporary music and experimental jazz. Both works, composed between 2019 and 2022, highlight the quartet's prowess as interpreters and performers of demanding, modern repertoire, and fulfill Anzu's mission of commissioning and promoting new repertoire for the instrumentation of Messiaen's elemental "Quartet for the End of Time," a new recording of which the quartet will release later in 2025.
