An emerging young “ensemble to watch” (Hyde Park Herald), the Poiesis Quartet already has a long list of prizes under their belt, including winning last year’s Concert Artists Guild Competition. The Quartet was lauded as “agile collaborators” with an “extraordinary, honeyed group sound” (Cleveland Classical); for their Austin Chamber Music Festival debut, they’ll be collaborating with violist John Largess and cellist Joshua Gindele from the award-winning Miró Quartet.
