Pyxis Quartet
For the past decade, we’ve pushed buttons, envelopes, and every other metaphor for limits, challenging ourselves and our audiences with musical work that is fresh, timely, and relevant.
Our home planet is the Oregon Symphony, and the Pyxis constellation is our compass as we chart a new course in contemporary string quartet music.
