Catalyst Quartet

The illustrious Catalyst brings their restless musicianship and razor-sharp ensemble to a program at the spacious, gracious Jaffrey Center Meetinghouse.

“LIKE ALL GREAT CHAMBER GROUPS, THE CATALYST QUARTET IS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH, LIKE A FAMILY IN LIVELY CONVERSATION” – THE NEW YORK TIMES 

Hailed by The New York Times at its Carnegie Hall debut as “invariably energetic and finely burnished… playing with earthy vigor,” the Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet was founded by the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Organization in 2010. The ensemble (Karla Donehew Perez, violin; Abi Fayette, violin; Paul Laraia, viola; and Karlos Rodriguez, cello) believes in the unity that can be achieved through music and imagine their programs and projects with this in mind, redefining and reimagining the classical music experience.
