The Axiom Quartet is a dynamic and passionate professional ensemble based in Houston, TX. The group is known for creating and performing programs that mix classical string quartet repertoire, classical transcriptions, new compositions, and popular rock, electronic, indie, jazz and pop genres. The quartet members each have vast solo and collaborative performance experience, and as a group, they are Artists-in-Residence for the Music Preparatory School at the University of St. Because of their passion for expressive music from across the Western tradition, Axiom Quartet concerts are fresh and exciting to a wide range of audiences; they turn classical fans on to extraordinary popular music, while serving as classical music advocates to contemporary music fans. This formula has proved successful on a local and semi-national level. Their concerts in Houston are frequently sold out, they have also been invited as first ever classical string ensemble to play at the natural cave (Cave Without A Name) in the Texas Hill Country. The Axiom cave concerts are routinely sold out and garner critical acclaim. Most recently the Axiom Quartet has signed with the Parma Recordings label, and will be releasing their first CD in the fall of 2017. They are in high demand for performances, and they have received accolades and recognition from local press and institutions. The Axiom Quartet serves as outreach ambassador for Chamber Music Houston (formerly Houston Friends of Chamber Music), one of the country’s top chamber music presenters. The CMH sponsorship allows the Axiom Quartet to perform their programs in the communities, where access to live music is limited.
