In their first year, QX made their debut in Mechanics Hall in Worcester, performed with pianists Andrew
Rangall and Judith Gordon at the Rockport Chamber Music Festival (MA), premiered a newly
commissioned work written for them by Christos Koulendros, by invitation of the St. Botolph Club in
Boston and recorded their first CD of works by composer Joseph Summer for Albany Records, released
in the Fall of 2006. Other performances venues include the St. Paul's Festival in Worcester, Boston
College and Boston's Goethe Institute, where they gave the American premiere of German composer
Bernd Franke's "Versuch zur Nähe", a piece dedicated to the late Louis Krasner, as part of a concert
concept linking the Jewish influence on the music of 19th- century Vienna and 20th-century America.
2006-07 included their debut in Boston’s Jordan Hall as part of the Shakespeare Concerts series,
collaborations with the Newport dance troupe Island Moving Company, as well as premieres of works by
composers David Claman, John McDonald and Mark Berger. They continued their “mini-residencies”,
working with young composers at Tufts University and MIT and instrumentalists at College of the Holy
Cross, as well as hold a lecture/recital series at Fitchburg State College, and were guests of the
Worcester Chamber Music Society. Since founding its own highly successful QX Chamber Music Festival in
2005, sponsored by Atlantic Union College, which brings together budding young instrumentalists for an
intensive week of chamber music coaching, Faculty and participant concerts, QX expanded their 2007
Festival to two 5-day sessions, opened the Festival up to include adult amateurs, with the support of a
grant from the Amateur Chamber Music Players, and presented four Faculty concerts and two participant
concerts within a 10-day period.
Upcoming events in 2007-08 include another Shakespeare Concert in Boston’s Jordan Hall, recording a
second CD of works by Joseph Summer for Albany, a premiere of a concerto for string quartet and block
flute by Shirish Korde, performances at the Center for the Arts in Natick, College of the Holy Cross and
Clark University, appear as guests as of the Worcester Chamber Music Society, and coach and perform at
their 2008 Summer Chamber Music Festival held from July 14-25, 2008.
