With Quadrants, Navona Records presents six of today's best modern string quartets that meld the old with the new, combining traditional forms with contemporary influences to present expressive, emotional works that both make and break the mold. Quadrants Volume 2 seeks to bring the emotive works of six contemporary composers together, with each work communicating both deeply personal and universal messages. These messages are made all the more potent when expressed through the multifaceted voice and intimate setting of the string quartet - in this case, the acclaimed Boston group, the Pedroia String Quartet. The Pedroia String Quartet brings a combined fresh energy and maturity to the Quadrants series. Each member is a master in his own right. Between the four performers are tours from London to Seoul, the founding of one of America's freshest new chamber ensembles, InchA Far Cry,Inch and countless awards and features with the world's greatest ensembles. Put all of this together in one quartet, and you get the idea. Establishing themselves as one of the top contemporary string quartets, The Pedroia Quartet brings the work of Navona's composers to life with a spirit that is intense and virtuosic while remaining sensitive and tender. Quadrants Volume 2 is only the second stop in a series of composers and performers of the highest caliber. With a personal message and a powerful ensemble, however, this stop is not to be missed.

When asked to describe the circumstances that influenced her beautifully fraught new work, Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson - better known simply as Anika - quickly articulates a set of feelings and unpredictable circumstances that are familiar to anyone who tried to make art - or simply tried to live through - the recent global pandemic. InchIt's a moment caught in time,Inch she says of Change, her much-anticipated new record. Given that it has been 11 years since the of her last solo album, 2010 cult-favorite Anika, the artist suddenly found herself with a lot to say. InchThis album had been planned for a little while and the circumstances of it's inception were quite different to what had been expected. This colored the album quite significantly. The lyrics were all written there on the spot. It's a vomit of emotions, anxieties, empowerment, and of thoughts like-How can this go on? How can we go on?InchRecorded at a time when literally everyone in the world was being forced to take stock, rethink, and reimagine their own place in the cosmos of things, Anika provides the wisened perspective of an outsider. It's a perspective that is not lost on the British ex-pat and former political journalist. Inch'Sand Witches' is about England. My old home,Inch she says. InchI gave up my UK passport when I moved to Berlin 10 years ago. Now I am a foreigner in both lands, belonging to neither. Sometimes I find it hard to recognize the place I came from.InchDespite the subject matter and the circumstances around it's creation, Change itself is ultimately a treatise on optimism. The title track presents the album's message writ large I think we can change, we all have things to learn, about ourselves and about each other. To end the record on such a sanguine note might be one of Change's most revolutionary gestures. InchAnother book that affected the brain of this album wa
