“Revered like rock stars within the early music scene” (New York Times), Quicksilver brings together today’s top North American historically-informed performers. Described as “drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres” (Early Music America) and praised as “irresistible” (Fanfare Magazine), Quicksilver vibrantly explores the rich chamber music repertoire from the early modern period to the High Baroque. 

The ensemble has been featured at numerous music series and prestigious festivals, receiving critical acclaim, standing ovations and repeat invitations. Recent and upcoming appearances include Carnegie Hall, Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center, The Library of Congress, Buffalo Chamber Music Society, Coleman Chamber Concerts (Los Angeles), Arizona Early Music, Friends of Chamber Music Kansas City, Early Music in Columbus, CU Presents Artist Series (Colorado), Edmonton Chamber Music, the Miller Theatre at Columbia University, Boston Early Music Festival, Vancouver Early Music, Berkeley Festival and Exhibition, Shriver Hall Concert Series, Chamber Music Tulsa, Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Dumbarton Oaks Concert Series (Washington, DC), and Music Before 1800 (NYC). Quicksilver makes its European debut in 2024 at the Regensburg Tage Alter Musik.

Quicksilver’s debut recording, Stile Moderno, was described as “Breakthrough of the Year" (Huffington Post) and “convincing . . . terrific” (Early Music-Oxford Journal).  Quicksilver’s second recording, Fantasticus, was named one of The New Yorker’s Ten Notable Recordings of 2014 and praised as “Fantasticus, indeed” (Gramophone). Quicksilver's latest recording, Early Moderns: The (very) First Viennese School, has been described as "highly addictive...utterly captivating" (Limelight Magazine, Editor's Choice).
