New Recording Project

Mother

The Skyros Quartet embarks on a project recording the complete cycle of six quartets by Maddalena Lombardini (1745-1818). Skyros will weave a narrative of her life and how her seminal, important and overlooked contribution to the string quartet genre makes her the mother of the string quartet.

“Beethoven to Britten, Sibelius to Shostakovich - the sky is the limit for the Seattle based Skyros Quartet... known for their innovative and interactive approach to classical music both old and new.”
