A new commission for Solem Quartet, composed by Ryan Latimer
Supported by the Open Fund for Music Creators, Ryan will compose a substantial new work for the renowned Solem Quartet. Praised for their “immaculate precision and spirit” (The Strad) and “cultured tone” (Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation.
