Chamber Music Corvallis: Butter Quartet

The Butter Quartet consists of four musicians brought together by their mutual love of vibrant, historically informed performance of string quartets. They first formed during their studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague but soon developed a passion and dynamic that extended beyond their conservatory years. ​

The Butter Quartet enjoys integrating their research on late 18th- and early 19th-century performance practice into powerful performances. They also bring the same spirit of discovery to newly composed works for historically setup instruments. The Butters value a strong connection with their audiences and have partnered with community organizations to create grassroots concert tours in diverse spaces, supported by grants from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and the Fonds Podiumkunsten. ​
