A note from The Rhythm Method:

To all of our supporters who have joined us for concerts, listened to our albums, kept up-to-date with our newsletter updates, or simply sent us a positive thought now and again – we want to say thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. This business of music making is inherently and necessarily social, and we truly couldn’t do it without you, our audience and collaborators – nor would we want to! Thank you for taking time out of your day to enter into a listening environment with us, and for opening space in your life to engage with the art we care so very deeply about. We hope it has made you think about something with a new perspective, or brought you a moment of joy, or challenged you to reflect in a meaningful way. 

If you’ve enjoyed our concerts, recordings, videos, or updates this year, please consider supporting us by making a fully tax-deductible donation to The Rhythm Method. Every dollar helps us to keep making the music we all care so deeply about.

Here’s some of what we got up to this year:

  • Our second residency with the graduate string quartet writing seminar at NYU 

  • Returning to the Lake George Music Festival as ensemble-in-residence with the Composer’s Institute

  • Bringing back our popular mini-festival of women, non-binary, or gender diverse composer-performers, “Broad Statements” with a stellar lineup of artists

  • An academic residency at the Boston Conservatory of Music

  • Performing as guest ensemble with the Composers Collective in NYC

  • Recording “Pastorale para los pobres de la tierra” by Lewis Nielson, an epic and breathtaking work written for the quartet + Alice Teyssier, for a 2024 release

  • Recording Marina Kifferstein’s stunning String Quartet No. 2

  • Premiering new works by all four quartet members 

And here’s some of what we have planned for the year to come, which happens to be our TENTH ANNIVERSARY:

  • Releasing our next album, featuring works by Lewis Nielson, Paul Pinto, and our own Marina Kifferstein, on New Focus

  • Premiering newly commissioned works by Victoria Cheah and inti figgis-vizueta

  • Collaborating with students at Iceberg Composer Collective’s Iceberg Institute in Orlando, FL as quartet in residence

  • Collaborating with Mosaic Composers Collective (MoCoCo) at their National Sawdust show

  • Another spectacular “Broad Statements” mini-fest featuring artists we are so excited to present

  • Returning to NYU’s graduate string quartet writing seminar

  • Returning to Lake George Music Festival

  • Commissioning a new double quartet with video from our long-time collaborator Paul Pinto

We hope you’ll join us for some of what we have planned this year. If you appreciate what we do, we hope that you’ll consider making a fully tax-deductible donation to The Rhythm Method. Every dollar helps us to build our organization, so that we can continue our work in creating the music we all care so deeply about.
Thank you for supporting The Rhythm Method!

With love,

Carrie, Leah, Marina, and Meaghan
