The Argus Quartet is dedicated to encouraging the joys of human
connection, community, and discovery by bringing a wide-ranging

commitment to collaboration and education, winning recognition as a
“vivacious foursome … [that] plays canonical standards with authority
and verve and approaches modern music with care and assurance” (The New
Yorker). Praised for playing with “supreme melodic control and total
authority” and “decided dramatic impact” (Calgary Herald), the Quartet
has quickly emerged as one of today’s most dynamic and versatile
ensembles.
