Third spaces are where communities comes together. They're where where folks converse and connect and maybe listen to some music. Formed in the 2021, Thirdspace Quartet is just as committed to exploring the eclectic landscape of the string quartet repertoire as it is to contributing to its chosen community. We're at home with classical staples, folk and pop crossovers, innovative contemporary works. Thirdspace Quartet cultivates a community-powered chamber music scene in Boise. Our multifaceted and exploratory debut concert season features three concurrent series. "Ritual" presents classical staples and overlooked gems of the string quartet repertoire. "Popcycle" is all about crossovers and genre-blending: from pop to folk to jazz and things in between. "State of the Art" explores innovative and experimental work by living composers, and places emphasis on the performance of work by local composers. 3SQ is excited to present their work in unique spaces throughout Boise, and has partnered with The Social on 8th, MING Studios, and First Presbyterian Church. The 2024/25 concert season features an array of collaborative performance and educational projects. We are excited to perform with local jazz pianist Alex Sjobeck and vocalist Sam Tru, engage students of the Idaho Fine Arts Academy in a side-by-side performance, and support the Davis Educational Fund through admission-free concerts. In partnership with the Boise State University Department of Composition, 3SQ will launch an annual initiative to commission, workshop, and premiere a brand new work for string quartet by a local student composer. Thirdspace Quartet is also a regular contributor to Idaho Concerts in Care, and is the core ensemble for Candlelight Concerts in Boise and Twin Falls, Idaho.
