Callisto Quartet

2020-21 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence

Praised for their “intensity and bravado” and the “cohesion and intonation one might expect from an ensemble twice their age” (Third Coast Review), the Callisto Quartet was formed in 2016 at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and has since garnered top prizes in the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, as well as several others. For their third performance as Caramoor’s 2020–21 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, the Callisto Quartet performs works by Haydn, Beethoven, and the world premiere of a Caramoor commission by Saad Haddad.
