Vinca Quartet Joins the ANALOG Family!

Vinca String Quartet is ANALOG arts ensemble's newest member. Based in New Haven, Vinca has been hailed by the New York Times as "stunning", and "worth keeping an eye on".

The quartet was formed in 2002 at the Yale School of Music and began its career working with the Tokyo String Quartet. In September 2004, the quartet was awarded the position of graduate-quartet-in-residence at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where they were assistants and protégés of the acclaimed Takács Quartet for three years.

ANALOG arts ensemble is a network of artists and musicians that is rapidly making its mark on the contemporary music scene. With an universal sensibility, ANALOG programs have consistently edged classical music into new terrain, where concerts are organically shaped by an unpredictable array of artistic disciplines. A typical event might offer Stockhausen's music alongside Bjork's while the audience roams around the performance space, observing isolated musicians as objets d'art.

Formed in 2001 by two trumpet players who sought to continue their creative collaboration, though separated by some 400 miles, ANALOG gave its first performance in a one-room stone church deep in the Maryland countryside. That first concert bore many of the traits that were to become hallmarks of ANALOG events: new commissions, ingenious arrangements, juxtapositions of seemingly incompatible musics, and dramatic pacing.

In the summer of 2004, ANALOG presented its first music festival, ARTSaha! Specifically designed for Omaha audiences, ARTSaha! was recognized in 2005 by The Reader as one of the cultural highlights of Omaha. In 2006, ARTSaha! was presented in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
