American Tapestry brings together four unique voices in American music: Samuel Barber, Wynton Marsalis, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and John Williams. The album reflects the belief that American classical music is not a single style but rather an amalgamation and dialogue between many different voices.

The Calidore String Quartet, acclaimed for performances across the globe, is recognised as one of today’s foremost chamber-music ensembles. From its base in New York, the group has toured widely throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
