The quartet maintains a strong interest in contemporary music and has commissioned and premiered works by Milton Babbitt, Chou Wen-Chung, Charles Wuorinen, Bruce Adolphe, Steven Mackey, and Jonathan Dawe. In addition – to celebrate its 10th anniversary – the quartet commissioned 10 composers to write brief companion pieces to Bach’s Art of Fugue.
