A quartet composed of four instrumentalists, each with their own American story. Today, they bring their experiences together into a single narrative—about music shaped at the intersection of tradition, travel, and encounters.

The ensemble’s name refers to Antonín Dvořák and his fascination with America. “From the New World” is not only the title of a symphony, but also a symbol of the meeting of cultures, idioms, and musical languages. The same spirit permeates the quartet’s programme: inspirations drawn from American music, its rhythm and sense of space, intertwine with a European sensitivity to form and sound.

In the background, one can also hear the aesthetic of Claus Ogerman—a composer who was able to infuse the world of classical music with jazz harmony with remarkable elegance and subtlety. New World Quartet develops this idea in its own way, creating chamber music open to improvisation.
