I met members of the Nico Quartet (Minami Yoshida, Alison Kim, Chih-Ta Chen and Deok Yong Kim) when I hired them to be part of the instrumental ensemble for a recording session of my Missa Pro Defunctis in the Eben Jordan Studio at the New England Conservatory of Music in the spring of 2019.On a later occasion that spring I heard their cellist Deok Jong Kim as the soloist in the Shostakovich Cello Concerto wit the NEC Philharmonic in Jordan Hal. I was blown away by her impeccable and lyrical performance.A month later I saw the Nico Quartet in a Jordan Hall recital as one of the Honors Ensembles at NEC 2019. This time I was blown away by all four members of the group.Right there and then I decided that I should write a string quartet for them. This is my 13th string quartet. Three more and I will catch to Beethoven. LOL!!!NICO is in five movements.1. Largo2. Presto with a TRIO3. Adagio4. Vivace5. LargoEnjoy!!!
