Callisto Quartet

Since their inception in 2016, the American-Canadian-Taiwanese Callisto Quartet has garnered top prizes in nearly every major international chamber music competition, including Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Second Prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition, alongside prizes at the Bordeaux, Melbourne, and Wigmore Hall Competitions. They have been praised for their “tremendous variety of color” (The Strad) and “cohesion and intonation one might expect from an ensemble twice their age” (Third Coast Review), the quartet maintains a busy touring schedule, regularly performing across Europe, Central America, and North America in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Kaufman Music Center, and at premier music festivals including Ravinia, La Jolla Summerfest, and Prussia Cove. Passionate educators, they have taught at leading universities and festivals, and have held residencies at Rice, Yale, Caramoor, and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel.

They will join CMS’s Bowers Program in fall 2027.
