Quicksilver

USA

Led by Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski, QUICKSILVER brings together leading historically-informed performers in North America today. Described as ''drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres,'' (Early Music America) and praised as ''irresistible'' (Fanfare Magazine), Quicksilver vibrantly explores the rich chamber music repertoire from the early modern period to the High Baroque. The ensemble has been featured at numerous music series and prestigious festivals, receiving critical acclaim and repeat invitations. The ensemble will make its debut at Carnegie Hall in February 2017. Quicksilver’s debut recording, Stile Moderno: new music from the seventeenth century was described as “Breakthrough of the Year…breathtaking” (Huffington Post). Quicksilver’s latest recording, Fantasticus: Extravagant and Virtuosic Music from 17th Century Germany has been named one of The New Yorker’s Top Ten Recordings of 2014 and praised as ''Fantasticus, indeed'' (Gramophone).
