CARPE DIEM STRING QUARTET The Carpe Diem String Quartet, in residence at the Conservatory of Music at Capital University, has earned critical acclaim as a leading chamber ensemble with a diverse repertoire and passion for audience engagement. Carpe Diem champions music of living composers with a balance of the classics while uncovering overlooked treasures of the chamber music repertoire. Through innovative programming, including traditional presentations of the standard repertoire, thematic concerts, and popular music for younger generations, Carpe Diem brings new audiences into the concert hall and revitalizes the chamber music recital. Featured quartet of the 2007 Contemporary Music Festival at the Ohio State University, Carpe Diem has presented premières by Donald Harris, Kenneth Fuchs, Osvaldo Golijov, Andre Hajdu, Jonathan Leshnoff, Nicholas Maw, Clancy Newman, Carter Pann, Eric Sawyer, and Gunther Schuller, among others.
