"The PRISM Quartet's members avoid the effete cliches of the classical saxophone. They play with grit, brio, and take-no-prisoners accuracy." (Detroit Free Press)

PRISM offers an eclectic program of music new and old, including the world premiere of "Memo 6b" by Pulitzer Prize winner Bernard Rands, the Philadelphia premiere of "Squeeze" by Augusta Read Thomas and recent works composed especially for PRISM by Martin Bresnick and James Primosch.  The program will also feature Salvatore Sciarrino's "Pagine" and adaptations of music by Gesualdo, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Gershwin, and Cole Porter.

Hailed for their flawless, expressive style and accessible sound, PRISM "moves effortlessly through styles," according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. "The music was lighthearted, pulsing, and wittily colored."  Chosen by Musical America as Outstanding Young Artists and winners of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, PRISM has performed on Entertainment Tonight, National Public Radio and in Alice Tully Hall with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
