Lakes Area Music Festival Presents Altius Quartet

Altius Quartet is an ensemble determined to further the art of chamber music through performance, education, and outreach. Altius strives to communicate art to a more diverse audience through community engagement and innovative repertoire.  Hailed as “rich” and “captivating” by the renowned music blog, “I Care If You Listen,” the Altius Quartet is garnering an international reputation and enrapturing the hearts of audiences through their charisma and dynamism. Altius has also received critical praise for their musicianship and versatility on both of their albums: “Dress Code” and “Shostakovich String Quartets 7, 8, & 9.”

Altius has also been awarded prizes at many internationally respected competitions including: the Schoenfeld International String Competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the Coltman Chamber Music Competition, and the Plowman Chamber Music Competition. The quartet has an active performance schedule including engagements at music festivals, series, and universities throughout the United States.

Altius Quartet is deeply committed to outreach, often performing concerts and teaching master classes in public schools and alternative performing venues including: jazz clubs, bars, and homeless shelters.

The ensemble was selected from an international pool of applicants to become the Lakes Area Music Festival’s inaugural string quartet fellows and will return to MN this summer for an intensive rehearsal and performance fellowship.
