Poiesis Quartet : "Queer Amazons !"

This quartet of young string musicians combines musical mastery (having won first place in the 2025 Banff International String Quartet Competition) and dedicated advocacy for contemporary queer culture – which claims the figure of the Amazon as an icon. Here, they invite us to explore the new generation of American composers, paying homage to the pioneering African-American composer Florence Price with a performance of her String Quartet No. 1.
