About the Beo String Quartet

“This is an ensemble whose music making speaks to the heart as well as the mind.” (Grammy-winning composer Richard Danielpour, Curtis Institute of Music)

With 65 world premieres to its credit and 150 concert works played throughout the United States, South America, and Europe, the iconoclastic Beo String Quartet does what it loves best: playing classical repertoire, contemporary, rock, and experimental music. From the Latin “to make happy,” Beo started out as a lark. Two Mexican-American brothers, Jason Neukom and Sean Neukom, decided to record a song entitled “Happy, Happy,” composed by Sean, but for that they would need two more players. And so, in 2015 the Beo String Quartet was formed. The eclectic and highly polished Beo String Quartet has created a niche for itself as a daring, genre-defying ensemble. Rigorously trained in the classical tradition, the musicians also know their way around contemporary expression, including the use of electronics, live sound processing, and spatial audio manipulation. In 2023, the Beo Quartet made an auspicious New York debut at the famed J.P. Morgan Library in a concert that was hailed as “outstanding” by the New York Classical Review. Undaunted by artistic or logistical challenges, the Beo play the masters in a variety of settings, collaborate with living composers, and explore technology’s capacity to the fullest.

The Beo String Quartet concert is a part of Music at Mechanics', a live music series in Mechanics' Institute's historic downtown spaces.
