A seamless fit for the creative hub of the Club at Studio K, improvisational string ensemble PUBLIQuartet makes its Kennedy Center debut. Applauded by The Washington Post as “a perfect encapsulation of today’s trends in chamber music,” the Grammy Award®–nominated quartet is committed to creating an inclusive performance space, supporting living composers of varying genres, and expanding the classical canon.
