John Yun: o reche modo
The Mivos/Kanter String Quartet Composition Prize was established in 2011 to support the work of emerging and mid-career composers and to encourage continued interest in new compositions for string quartet. The winning composer, selected from over one hundred applicants, receives a cash prize and a performance of their work in New York City by the Mivos Quartet. The 2017 prizewinner featured on this concert is composer, Jon Yu, with his piece o reche modo.
The Mivos/Kanter Prize is made possible through the generous contributions of Carl Kanter.
“This vital young NewYork string quartet embraces toothy modernism with punk-rock verve”
“...the remarkable New York string ensemble Mivos Quartet, a fearless, precise, and forward-looking new-music group dedicated to some of the toughest material being written today.”
