The Emergence Quartet is a period instrument string quartet. Our goal is to explore the advent of the string quartet through study and performance of the earliest works for the genre. Historically accurate instruments and a collective wealth of historical and modern performance knowledge allow us to realize the unique blend of baroque rhetoric and classical and romantic language combined in this underplayed repertoire. Rediscovering early string quartets allows the Emergence Quartet’s members and audience to experience a time of fascinating growth, evolution, and creativity in the history of one of western music’s most beloved genres.
