The Cypress String Quartet has had a long relationship with composer Daniel Asia, including the premiere and subsequent recording of his String Quartet No. 2. For their commissioning project "Call & Response," Asia wrote his String Quartet No. 3 "The Seer" in 2007. And last year, the stellar cellist and founding member of the quartet, Jennifer Kloetzel, gave the world premiere of Asia's Cello Suite. The Suite is composed of 10 contrasting movements, from "pensive" and "mysterious" to "playful" and "fast and impetuous," exploring the many different voices of the instrument. For advanced cellists.
