Get to know the
Axiom Quartet
The mission of the Axiom Quartet is to tell the stories of composers, musicians, artists, and communities as vividly and engagingly as possible through music, conversation, and multi-disciplinary presentation. To that end, we perform evocative music from any genre with the highest artistic quality and historical integrity, embracing music and composers from both the standard and under-represented repertoires alike. In doing so, we speak and interact with our audience, sharing our personalities and perspectives to create welcoming, engaging, and personable experiences.
Our Story
Known for their drive to interact with audiences and present programs that feature or combine the classical string quartet repertoire, new and exploratory music, pop genres, and global music, the American Prize-winning Axiom Quartet creates uniquely engaging concert experiences. Behind this flexibility is the belief that by treating a diversity of music and styles with thorough artistry, personality, curiosity, and intensity, Axiom can bring together listeners from all walks of life to enjoy an experience that reaches out to all. As a result, many of Axiom’s season concerts are sold out, including tours of China and the US Midwest, rural and urban concert spaces across the South, and unconventional venues like the Cave Without a Name. A designated 501 (c)(3) organization, Axiom is also embedded in engagement and education, giving dozens of performances and workshops in public schools, assisted living/retirement facilities, libraries, and parks as Community Education Partners for Chamber Music Houston and recipients of multiple Houston Arts Alliance grants.
Axiom is dedicated to bringing the stories of composers, musicians, artists, and communities to life through music, conversation, and innovative multi-disciplinary presentations, often joined by prominent subject matter experts and academic and cultural luminaries. They embrace both established masterworks and compositions from underrepresented repertoires, ensuring a diverse and enriching musical experience. Honored with membership in the Texas Commission for the Arts Touring Roster since 2022, Axiom remains dedicated to enriching the cultural landscape of Houston and the region through accessible and affordable concerts in underserved communities.
