Quatuor à cordes Ximenez
Named after 19th century Peruvian composer Pedro Ximenez Abril Tirado (1784-1856), the Ximenez Quartet was born in the fall of 2019 out of the shared passion for exploring music by lesser-known composers, especially those from the Americas. Montreal based Karin Cuellar (Bolivia), Simon Alexandre (Canada), Jimin Dobson (Korea/Canada), and Jessica Korotkin (USA) have made their mission to bring this repertoire to the concert platform in a sensitive, historically informed, and contextualized manner that aims to place this music in equal terms with music from the canonic, mostly euro-centered repertoire. The Ximenez Quartet has curated concerts for the Schulich School of Music’s 5 à 7 series as well as for the Baroque Orchestra of Colorado’s “Confluences” series.
In 2022, the Ximenez Quartet was selected for Early Music America’s Emerging Artist Showcase, had its Montreal Baroque Festival debut, participated in Evolution: Quartet at The Banff Center, had an artistic residence at Orford Music, and was the only Canadian ensemble to participate on the "XIII Festival Internacional de Música Barroca y Renacentista Misiones de Chiquitos” in Bolivia. In 2023, the Ximenez Quartet will be part of the Bloomington Early Music Festival virtual sessions and will have its US debut presented by Arizona Early Music.
