Mivos Quartet is a string quartet that is widely acclaimed for its adventurous and riveting performances of contemporary classical music. Founded in 2008, the quartet has quickly risen to prominence as one of the most daring and innovative ensembles in the modern classical scene. Comprising violinists Olivia De Prato and Lauren Cauley, violist Victor Lowrie Tafoya, and cellist Tyler J. Borden, Mivos Quartet is celebrated for its dedication to working closely with composers across a spectrum of genres to create new works that push the boundaries of the string quartet medium.

Since their inception, the ensemble has become a staple in the New York City new music community and expanded their reach through international tours and recordings. Their collaboration with an array of esteemed composers has seen them perform world premieres and contribute to the evolution of the string quartet repertoire, a commitment well-demonstrated by their recent releases such as "Stephen Yip: By Moonflowers" and "Eren Gümrükçüoğlu: Pareidolia." Their mastery in interpreting contemporary works is also showcased in their renditions of Steve Reich's intricate compositions including "The String Quartets," "Triple Quartet: II," and the haunting "WTC 9/11: I. 9/11/01." The Mivos Quartet's performances, whether live as in "Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate (Live)" and "Trajectories (Live)" or in the studio, are characterized by their technical acumen, expressive depth, and an unyielding drive to explore new sonic territories. Their commitment to the present era's music has resulted in a powerful discography that captures the innovative spirit of contemporary composition.
