The Raven Quartet combines the raw energy of a rock band with the technical precision of a highly trained string quartet. Through appearances in and around Seattle, WA, the ensemble creates transformative listening experiences in unexpected places. Their boundary-defying programs feature the contemporary composers of today intertwined with everything from medieval music to Radiohead. Raven Quartet is shaped by a fearless, exploratory approach to performance with new audiences in mind.
