Carpe Diem has become the premier American indie string quartet. Defying easy classification, the quartet continues to break boundaries and push the limits of the classical string quartet. By writing, arranging and performing music of all styles, and working with artists of many different genres, the quartet has captured the imagination of audiences and the respect of critics alike.
The quartet, violinists Charles Wetherbee and John Ewing, violist Korine Fujiwara and cellist Kristin Ostling are committed to changing the concert experience of chamber music. Using innovative programming, thematic concerts, and popular music for younger generations, cameras and video to assist in the visual presentation, as well as speaking from the stage to better engage the audience, Carpe Diem is bringing new audiences into the concert hall and revitalizing the chamber music experience.
