Boston Public Quartet is a group of professional musicians/educators
committed equally to performing and teaching through a long-term
residency at the underserved Chittick Elementary in Mattapan. Going on
its third year in residence, the Quartet has created a new model for
music education and performance, bringing together musicians, teachers
and families through the shared intention of student success. Music
becomes not just a mere lesson or concert, but a means of transformation
and connection within the larger community. At the Chittick, the Quartet
provides the school’s 300 students with their only access to music
education through presentations, workshops, violin, viola and cello
lessons and chamber music. The Boston Public Quartet, which empowers
musicians employed in social change, relies solely on grants and
donations to fund their programming. Visit them at
http://www.bostonpublicquartet.org/.

Michael Norsworthy has given premieres of over 80 works in collaboration
with composers Harrison Birtwistle, Elliott Carter, Chris Dench, Pozzi
Escot, Brian Ferneyhough, Michael Finnissy, Lukas Foss, Hans Werner
Henze, Magnus Lindberg, Ralph Shapey and Marc Anthony Turnage, among others.

As soloist, Michael Norsworthy has performed an extensive repertoire of
concerti, ranging from Mozart to Ferneyhough, with the Aspen
Contemporary Ensemble, Callithumpian Consort, NEC Contemporary Ensemble,
Pottstown Symphony, Soria Chamber Players, Southern Illinois Symphony
and Symphony Pro Musica, while audiences have heard his numerous
recitals in New York , Boston, Cambridge, Chicago and St. Louis.
