ABOUT THE PRISM QUARTET
Intriguing programs of great beauty and breadth have distinguished PRISM Quartet as one of America's foremost chamber ensembles. "A bold ensemble that set the standard for contemporary-classical saxophone quartets" (The New York Times), PRISM has performed at Carnegie Hall and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and has toured Latin America, China, and Russia under the auspices of USIA and USArtists International. PRISM has also appeared as soloists with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and The Cleveland Orchestra, and has held residencies at the nation's leading conservatories, including the Curtis Institute of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory, with an upcoming residency at the Juilliard School. A two-time recipient of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, PRISM has commissioned more than 400 works by eminent composers, including Pulitzer Prize winners William Bolcom, Jennifer Higdon, Susie Ibarra, Bernard Rands, Tyshawn Sorey, Julia Wolfe, and Zhou Long, and MacArthur Fellows George Lewis, Bright Sheng, and Miguel Zenón. PRISM's discography is extensive, with nearly 40 releases on Albany, BCM&D, BMOP/Sound, ECM, innova, Koch International, Navona, Naxos, New Dynamic, New Focus, Orange Mountain Music, and its own label, XAS Records. The Fifth Century, PRISM's ECM recording with The Crossing, won a 2018 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance. PRISM was named by its alma mater, the University of Michigan, as the first recipient of the Christopher Kendall Award in recognition of its work in "collaboration, entrepreneurship, and community engagement." PRISM Quartet performs exclusively on Selmer saxophones.
