The Balourdet Quartet is a collision of four musicians who activate wonder by creating beautiful art with curiosity and humor. As curators of classical music, they bring deeply human ideas to life in the world we all share—making the profound feel personal and the unfamiliar feel welcoming. Through the chemistry of the unexpected, they make artistic practices accessible to their audiences and inspire a sense of ease. They invite vulnerability in a playful way, creating a relatable and intimate space where people can feel at home.
Founded in 2018, the ensemble has been touring full time since fall of 2021 and has received prestigious recognition including the Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Cleveland Quartet Award. Currently managed by Colbert Artists Management, the quartet formed an LLC in 2023 with a goal to build together not only as an artistic group but also as a business operation. The Balourdet has recorded two CDs through Phenotypic Recordings (release date TBC) and remains deeply committed to building educational programs and creativity workshops for students of all ages, entrepreneurs, business executives, and music lovers.
