Formed in 2020, the Anzû Quartet is an ensemble dedicated to the music of our time and the recent canon. A collaboration between internationally renowned performers of contemporary music, Olivia De Prato (violin), Ashley Bathgate (cello), Ken Thomson (clarinet) and Karl Larson (piano), this new quartet pays homage to Olivier Messiaen’s ‘Quatuor pour la fin du temps’ by actively commissioning and performing new works for this iconic instrumentation. Since forming in 2020, the Anzû Quartet has performed for audiences around the world, including performances in New York, Berlin, Croatia, the Netherlands, and Latvia, along with a digital premiere at UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance.
