ARTISTS
The Amphion String Quartet is a winner of the 2011 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition and joined the roster of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two Program in fall 2013. Through CMS, the ensemble made its Alice Tully Hall debut in March 2014, about which the New York Times praised “the focused, forceful young Amphion String Quartet” for its “sharply detailed performances.” The quartet’s debut album (Nimbus Records) has received critical acclaim with the New York Times describing its playing as having “propulsive energy and raw drama…jaunty exuberance…epic sweep” and “fiery temperament.” Highlights of the 2015-16 season include a performance with the Chamber Music Society at Alice Tully Hall and at the Melbourne (Florida) Chamber Music Society in November. The quartet will collaborate with harpist Bridget Kibbey in performances at SubCulture (NYC) and in San Francisco’s Morrison Chamber Music Center. Other highlights of the year include a return to the Tilles Center Chamber Music Series on Long Island and performances at the Chamber Music Society of Bethlehem and the Newburgh Chamber Music Series. The ASQ will return to the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC for a concert in collaboration with percussionist Ian David Rosenbaum. Recent performances include Mostly Mozart recitals at Avery Fisher Hall, critically acclaimed performances at Alice Tully Hall for The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and return engagements at the Tilles Center Chamber Music Series and BargeMusic. In May 2015 the ensemble premiered David Philip Hefti’s Sextet at the Chamber Music Society’s Kaplan Penthouse alongside Yura Lee and Jan Vogler. This past May the quartet had a three-week residency in Portland with the contemporary dance company BodyVox on a special project entitled “Cosmosis.” Internationally the Amphion Quartet has performed in South Korea at the Music Isle Festival in Jeju, Seoul Arts Center, and the Busan Chamber Music Festival. Previous US festival appearances include The Chautauqua Institution, OK Mozart, Chamber Music Northwest, La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, New Jersey’s Mostly Music Series, NYU String Quartet Workshop, Princeton Summer Concerts, Cooperstown Chamber Music Festival, and Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival. Summer 2013 featured the world premiere of a new quartet by Yevgeniy Sharlat at the Caramoor Music Festival (commissioned by Caramoor as the culmination of the 2012-13 Stiefel String Quartet Residency). The ASQ has collaborated with such eminent artists as the Tokyo String Quartet, Ani Kavafian, David Shifrin, Anne-Marie McDermott, Carter Brey, Edgar Meyer, Michala Petri, James Dunham, and Deborah Hoffmann.
Patrick Castillo leads a multifaceted career as a composer, performer, writer, and educator. His music has been featured at festivals and venues throughout the United States and internationally including Spoleto Festival USA, June in Buffalo, the Santa Fe New Music Festival, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Berklee College of Music, Bavarian Academy of Music in Munich, Nuremberg Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Havana Contemporary Music Festival. His vocal chamber music is featured on The Quality of Mercy, a forthcoming release from Innova Recordings. He is variously active as an explicator of music to a wide range of listeners. He has provided liner and program notes for numerous recording labels and concert series: most prolifically for Music@Menlo, a chamber music festival and institute in Silicon Valley for which he served as artistic administrator for more than ten years. In this latter capacity, he has led a variety of pre-concert discussion events; designed outreach presentations for middle and high school students; and authored, narrated, and produced the widely acclaimed AudioNotes series of listener’s guides to the chamber music literature. Mr. Castillo has been a guest lecturer at Fordham University, the Milwaukee Symphony, the Chamber Music Festival of the Bluegrass in Kentucky, ChamberFest Cleveland, and String Theory at the Hunter in Chattanooga, Tennessee, among others. From 2010 to 2013, he served as senior director of artistic planning for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Italian clarinetist Tommaso Lonquich is solo clarinetist with Ensemble MidtVest, an international chamber ensemble based in Denmark. He has performed on prestigious stages on four continents and at major festivals. As a chamber musician, he has partnered with Klaus Thunemann, Sergio Azzolini, Umberto Clerici, Christoph Richter, Felix Renggli, Claudio Martinez Mehner, Jeffrey Swann, Alexander Lonquich, and the Allegri Quartet. He performs regularly as guest solo clarinetist with the Leonore Orchestra in Italy and others, collaborating with conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Fabio Luisi, and Leonard Slatkin. He has devised many performances in collaboration with visual artists, dancers, and actors. With Ensemble MidtVest he has been particularly active in improvisation, leading workshops at The Juilliard School. He is vicepresident of KantorAtelier, a vibrant cultural space based in Florence, dedicated to the exploration of music, theatre, art, and psychoanalysis. He can be heard on a number of CD releases for DaCapo, CPO, and Col Legno, as well as on radio broadcasts around the world. He graduated from the University of Maryland under the tutelage of Loren Kitt, furthering his studies with Alessandro Carbonare, François Benda, and Michel Arrignon at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofía in Madrid. In 2009 the Queen of Spain awarded him the Escuela’s prestigious annual prize. Other honors include prizes at the Marco Fiorindo International Competition and at the Concerto Competition of the National Symphony Orchestra (USA). He is a member of CMS Two.
