Quattro Mani

Quattro Mani is the dynamic piano duo of Susan Grace and Alice Rybak, celebrated for their electrifying performances of contemporary and 20th-century music. Since forming in 1988, they’ve carved out a niche as champions of adventurous repertoire, from thorny modernism to playful minimalism. Their recordings, like the *Complete Crumb Edition* series, showcase their dedication to preserving and reimagining groundbreaking works—they’ve even collaborated directly with legends like George Crumb. Whether tearing through Bartók’s fiery concertos, unraveling John Adams’ rhythmic puzzles in *Hallelujah Junction*, or breathing life into Paul Lansky’s intricate compositions, Quattro Mani blends precision with raw energy. Their name, meaning “four hands” in Italian, perfectly captures their symbiotic artistry—two pianists, one vision, and a whole lot of fingers flying.
