Southern Theatre
21 E. Main St, Columbus, OH
The Callisto Quartet will perform a world premiere by Korine Fujiwara, a composer with strong Ohio roots, who formerly played with ProMusica Chamber Orchestra and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. This commission will be set apart by Fujiwara’s striking ability to create solos for all instruments.
Praised for their “lush intensity and bravado” and the “cohesion and intonation one might expect from an ensemble twice their age” (Third Coast Review), the American/Canadian Callisto Quartet brings together four musicians who share a deep passion for bringing chamber music to audiences around the world. Since their inception in 2016, Callisto has garnered top prizes in nearly every major international chamber music competition and has been hailed by audiences across the globe. Grand Prize winners of the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Second Prize Winners of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Callisto Quartet has also taken home prizes from the Bordeaux, Melbourne, and Wigmore Hall competitions.
