Sundays @ Four: Catalyst Quartet

Crowden continues its 40th anniversary season on Sunday, April 21, presenting the Catalyst Quartet at 4pm. Fresh off of Chamber Music America’s Album of the Year Award, Catalyst Quartet features Crowden alumna Karla Donehew Perez (’99), who returns to her middle school stage for a memorable program of Paquito D’Rivera, Astor Piazzolo, and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson.
 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. Their global accomplishments range from sold-out performances from Cuba to Carnegie Hall, an impressive range of acclaimed recordings including a 2018 Grammy Award-winning 2-disc recording with Cecile McLorin Salvant, prominent residencies with SF Performances, Met Museum LiveArts series, and more.
