Created in 1974, this group integrated by Irvine Arditti, John Senter, Levine Andrade and Lenox Mackenzie, has left a permanent mark on the musical repertoire of the 20th century. Winner of the prestigious Ernst von Siemens Music Prize, the group considers that a close collaboration with the composers is vital for the interpretative process, so it tries to work with each author. Some outstanding projects are piece Four (1989), created along with John Cage, and the String Quartets I, II and III, by Mauricio Kagel. More than 190 productions, made with twenty labels, integrate their catalog.

Pieces by Franco Donatoni, Hebert Vázquez, Javier Torres Maldonado, Brian Ferneyhough, Salvatore Sciarrino e Hilda Paredes.
