About Halcyon String Quartet:
Halcyon is a nonprofit organization, string quartet, and artist collective based in Midcoast Maine. As musicians, artists, filmmakers, animators, advocates, and storytellers, we strive to share our love of music in ways that foster connection, community, vibrancy, joy, warmth, and accessibility. Our programs are built on partnerships with local community organizations and folks from all walks of life. We collaborate with scientists, artists, students, actors, composers, poets, and educators to create performances that invite audiences to feel, celebrate, reflect, and respond collectively to the world around them. Halcyon’s upcoming season includes collaborations with Maine’s Poet Laureate Julia Bouwsma, composer Nathan Davis, vocalists Sarah Tuttle and Aaren Rivard, Arctic scientist and climate advocate Susana Hancock, and students and educators at three local high schools.
