Carpe Diem String Quartet is an exciting ensemble that has captured the imagination of audiences, the respect of critics, and is one of the most versatile quartets of their generation. Carpe Diem returns to Kerrytown Concert House from a sold out performance at Carnegie and completing a residency working with students throughout Washtenaw County and the Toledo area. The group’s eclectic musical interests have led them down the paths of gypsy, tango, folk, pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music, while remaining equally at home with the traditional string quartet repertoire.
