Now in their seventh season, the Carya String Quartet strives to create community through performances of new and old chamber music from around the world. As the only all-women string quartet in the greater Houston area, Carya aims to bring attention to women composers in their musical and educational programs. In addition to presenting traditional concerts, the Carya String Quartet has launched several projects including “Meditations on Bach,” which paired Bach chorales with works of visual art and gained international attention, as well as “Inspirations,” an interactive and educational series focused on exploring how and why music is created and what can inspire composers, performers, and audience members alike.
