Celebrated for their diverse work, their live performances showcase "telepathic powers of communication" (The New York Times). Their recording Narrow Sea (Nonesuch Records) with Caroline Shaw, Dawn Upshaw, and Gilbert Kalish won the 2022 Grammy for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. They will collaborate with Williams College Department of Music for part of this unique performance.
