One of the most
unique and sought-after chamber ensembles on the concert stage
today, the Carpe Diem String Quartet is a boundary-breaking
ensemble that has earned widespread critical and audience
acclaim for its innovative programming and electrifying
performances. Carpe Diem defies easy classification with
programming that reflects its passions for Gypsy, tango, folk,
pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music, and has become one of
America's premiere “indie” string quartets, without sacrificing
its commitment to the traditional quartet repertoire. From a
recent review "Until Saturday evening, I had never heard a
performance by one of these multilingual quartets where the
classical repertoire was delivered at a level that was
competitive with the finest traditional groups. But the Carpe
Diem Quartet, appearing at the Dumbarton Church, was
extraordinary. Among these contemporary quartets who speak in
different tongues, the Carpe Diem is the best one out there." (The
Washington Post, Washington, DC)
The quartet continues to rack up accolades and awards. For three
consecutive years, Carpe Diem was the only quartet in America
chosen to receive an ArtsAlive Award from the PNC Foundation,
and they received rave reviews such as: “This is an accomplished
ensemble with a distinctive sound and personality” (San Diego
Union Tribune); “One would have to search long and hard to find
a more charming and enjoyable chamber music concert. A number of
elements contributed to this end result, not the least of which
the superb musicianship of the four musicians - Carpe Diem is a
seriously talented quartet in the most traditional definition.”(Herald-Tribune,
Sarasota, FL).
Carpe Diem seeks out, and is sought after by, artists from many
different genres for collaborations. Carpe Diem’s diverse
musical partnerships include American
singer/songwriter/guitarist Willy Porter, Latin Grammy winner/bandoneón
player Raul Juarena, klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer, cellist
Yo Yo Ma, banjo virtuoso and Canadian Folk Music "Artist of the
Year" Jayme Stone, Dixieland trumpeter Tom Battenberg, Chinese
pipa player Yihan Chen, and world master of the Persian santoor
Dariush Saghafi. The quartet is the resident ensemble for
Columbus Dance Theatre, and their joint project The String
Machine was aired by WOSU-PBS television through 2007-2008, and
nominated for an Emmy award. Carpe Diem champions the music of
living composers, and has commissioned, premiered, and performed
works from a broad and stylistically diverse range of composers
including Frank Bennett, Lawrence Dillon, Danny Elfman, Ken
Fuchs, Korine Fujiwara, Osvaldo Golijov, Andre Hajdu, Donald
Harris, Jennifer Higdon, Jonathan Leshnoff, Nicholas Maw,
William Thomas McKinley, Clancy Newman, Carter Pann, Kevin
Putts, Eric Sawyer, Gunther Schuller, Richard Smoot, Bradley
Sowash, Reza Vali, and Bruce Wolosoff, among others.
Carpe Diem String Quartet is

James Buswell,
violin viola
James
Buswell is one of the most versatile musicians of the 21st century. As a
solo violinist, he has performed more than one hundred concerti with
orchestras on five continents. In 2014 he expanded this list of solo
repertoire with debut recordings of one Turkish and one American
Concerto from the 20th century for release on the Naxos label. He was a
Grammy nominee for his recording of the Barber Violin Concerto with the
Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Distinguished conductors with whom he
has collaborated include Leonard Bernstein, George Szell, Seiji Ozawa,
Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Pierre Boulez, and Michael Tilson Thomas. It
was natural for Mr. Buswell to take up the baton early in his musical
career, and he has conducted opera, ballet, and symphonic repertoire
also on five continents.
While still attending Harvard University Buswell became well known as a
chamber musician and recitalist. He performed at the opening of the
Alice Tully Hall in New York with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln
Center, which he later joined as a regular artist-member. He has given
world premiere performances and made recordings of works by many
contemporary composers including Ned Rorem, Yehudi Wyner, Gunther
Schuller, John Harbison, Gian Carlo Menotti, and Ellen Taafe Zwilich.
James Buswell is also known as one of America’s preeminent teachers. He
was on the faculties of both Indiana University and the New England
Conservatory when each institution experienced a golden age of string
pedagogy. He is in great demand giving master classes and workshops all
over the world. Yet performance continues to be the center of his life
as a musician, and praise for his “sensitive, evocative, compelling
playing,” continues unabated today.
