2023-2024 Performances

Our first concert of the 2023-2024 season begins with our annual performance at Cave Without a Name in Boerne, TX. Our program showcases hits from The Axiom Quartet’s favorite decade across the centuries.

Violinist Matt Lammers will host Full Circle: Charles Ives’ quirky and lovably chaotic Quartet No. 1 “From the Salvation Army” and Samuel Barber’s one and only Quartet, home of the iconic Adagio.

“In 2021, my wife Marisa Ishikawa and I founded the Opus 1 Chamber Music School. Full Circle reopens the book on two pieces that sucked me devotedly into the incomparable world of chamber music in high school, hoping to understand their effect and share it just as compellingly with my students, the next generation of young players.” - Matt Lammers

Axiom Quartet travel North to Oklahoma for a concert in Admore.

The Axiom Quartet presents, “Holiday Storybook,” a program of classical holiday music for string quartet from around the world.

Axiom returns to perform for our friends at FCC Houston

Violinist Dominika Dancewicz will host Leaves of an Unwritten Diary: Krzysztof Penderecki’s third Quartet of the same name, the Houston premiere of Henryk Górecki’s second Quartet, and Grażyna Bacewicz’s lyrical yet amusing fourth Quartet.

"“The title of the first work on this entirely Polish program says it all. The pieces fit together in a puzzle creating my personal ‘Leaves of an Unwritten Diary’. Working with and learning from Penderecki were some of my strongest musical associations while in Poland. Górecki lived in my home town of Katowice, and I performed his music often. Bacewicz shows us how intellectual independence can overcome the limitations of a communist regime.”

Axiom brings their "Classical Country" program to Edinburg

Axiom travels to Brownsville for an evening of classical works featured this season on their Origin Stories series

Violist Katie Carrington and cellist Patrick Moore will host Point, Punctum, and Counterpoint: Florence Price’s soulful 5 Folk Songs in Counterpoint, Caroline Shaw’s reinvention of antique inspirations Punctum, and Henri Dutilluex’s set of character pieces Ainsi La Nuit (Thus the Night).

“This concert makes a point. It’s an eclectic combination of American and French modern music built on compelling counterpoint between pieces, not just within them.” -Patrick and Katie
