The Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet, founded in 2010 by the internationally-acclaimed Sphinx Organization, has been a seismic force in promoting underrepresented classical musicians. Known for their “perfect ensemble unity” and “unequaled class of execution” (Lincoln Journal Star), Catalyst Quartet has toured widely throughout the United States and abroad.
