icarus Quartet

Like the mythological figure from which it draws its name, the half piano/half percussion icarus Quartet dares to fly towards the sun. The Wall Street Journal hailed their 2022 album, BIG THINGS, as “a beautifully immersive recording…an impressive calling card.” Winner of the 2019 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition, icarus has given new life to old masterpieces as well as the future of their instrumentation. Fostering the development of new works lies at the core of the group’s mission, inspiring partnerships with titans of the classical contemporary field, established electronic/indie artists, and gifted student composers.
