Acclaimed for their spirited, engaging and highly original performances, New York City-based Quartet Salonnières is devoted to performance practices of the baroque through contemporary time periods. Founding members Majka Demcak, Aniela Eddy, Natalie Rose Kress and Cullen Coty-O’Neil met during their studies in the Historical Performance program at The Juilliard School. They have toured nationally and internationally, performing together on stages in New Zealand, with Les Arts Florissants in Paris, Philharmonia Baroque in San Francisco, Apollo’s Fire in Cleveland, Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, and Pacific Baroque Orchestra in Vancouver, Canada.
Highlights of the quartet’s 2020/21 season include concerts presented by Early Music America, San Francisco Early Music Society, Knox Instrumental Measures, Musicivic Musicast, and Berkley Early Music Festival. Additionally, they were awarded the position of Quartet in Residence at the Carmel Bach Festival and were featured on New York’s WQXR radio station and Michigan’s WMUK “Let’s Hear It!” program. Quartet Salonnières recently made their New York City debut as part of the Midtown Concert Series hosted by Gotham Early Music Scene.
Quartet Salonnières is the recipient of the George J. Jakob Global Enrichment Grant and is proud to be a member of the Mount Parnassus Foundation representing the Muse Ourania.
