Formed in 2009, the “superb Chicago-based ensemble” (Gramophone Magazine) Kontras Quartet has become known for its vibrant and nuanced performances, and for its explorations of the evolving role of chamber music in the new millennium. Equally committed to time-honored classics, contemporary compositions, and genre-bending collaborations, Kontras strives to continually enrich the string quartet art form, expand audiences, and champion diverse voices. Kerry Frumkin welcomes the quartet to Live From WFMT.
