Archytas Ensemble debut release now available

The Ensemble’s debut recording has been released internationally by Paladino Media GmbH in Vienna, Austria. “Three Wings” features the chamber music of Marcus Goddard in a tryptich of works written for strings.  

The Archytas Ensemble takes it’s name after the great Greek Philosopher, Mathematician, Astronomer, Statesman and Strategist, Archytas, who has been attributed with being the first to quantify the distance between a semi-tone in music. 

Supported by a private patron with the desire to commission a new quartet, Archytas was able to indulge in their love of creating contemporary music from the very inception of their ensemble, with their initial project including two great historic works from the literature and a new work from American-Canadian Composer Marcus Goddard. Immediately following the World Premier of Goddard’s second string quartet, “Three Wings”, the Ensemble was invited by Grammy and Juno Award winning Producer Denise Ball to air the new work on CBC Radio 2’s “In Performance”. Following this premier broadcast, host Paolo Petropaulo declared Archytas’ style as “gripping…soulful playing”.
