New Thread Album Release: Saxifraga // New Focus Recordings

New Thread Quartet Album Release
Saxifraga – digital release January 24 on New Focus Recordings

Saxifraga invites listeners to imagine scenes of natural wonderment, to embrace the fragile, and to restore our human connections. Recorded over a 7-year period between 2016 and 2023, this album tells another story: that of an evolving musical family amidst a changing landscape. Championed by past and present members of the quartet, these three works, each singular and expressive, were refined through years of rehearsal, deep discussions, and dozens of performances. Together, these works chronicle New Thread’s resilience and point to a future of vital, tender and reciprocal music making.
