Called "a dynamic new music ensemble" (The New York Times) ModernWorks was formed in 1997 by cellist and long-time concert producer Madeleine Shapiro. The focus of the ensemble is the exploration of the wealth of recent repertoire written for strings in a variety of combinations. Though the core is a string quartet, the ensemble also performs repertoire in numerous other combinations; string duos and trios, as well as works with accordion. Its ModernCelli ensemble performs music for multiple cellos. This is an area of the contemporary repertoire which is very rich, but not being consistently explored by most ensembles.
