Crossing Musical Boundaries with the ADAM Quartet and Vinthya Perinpanathan

This episode features a conversation with Vinthya Perinpanathan and members of the ADAM Quartet about musical exchange and artistic collaboration across genres and histories. The ADAM Quartet is a young string quartet consisting of Minna Svedberg (viola), Margot Kolodziej (violin), Julia Kleinsmann (violin), and Renée Timmer (cello). The group formed in Amsterdam and has performed at major venues and festivals in The Netherlands. Besides playing the traditional string quartet repertoire, ADAM regularly collaborates with contemporary composers working in other musical styles and disciplines. One such composer is this episode's fifth guest, Vinthya Perinpanathan. Trained in Western-Classical music, Vinthya has begun exploring Sri Lankan and South Asian music in her compositions as well. This month, ADAM releases its debut album called Exquisite Corpse, and in January, the string quartet will play a new piece composed by Perinpanathan. In their conversation, and through several audio examples, the ADAM Quartet and Vinthya discuss new music collaborations as well as the importance and challenges of combining different musical traditions.
