Project Resonance

Announcing Bergamot Quartet and Dan Trueman’s Project Resonance, a multi-tiered initiative fostering the creation of new works for Bergamot playing a set of Hardanger instruments in the context of a modern string quartet. Via Project Resonance, Bergamot Quartet will commission, perform, and record new music to be played on this quartet of instruments, made by Lynn Berg and one of only a few sets like it in the world. 

On March 29, 2025, Bergamot held the inaugural event of Project Resonance in NYC, presented by MATA. This event included a workshop for composers interested in the possibilities of creating new music for Bergamot playing the hardanger instruments; a “meet and greet” where attendees learned more about the history and construction of the instruments; and a performance by Bergamot and Dan Trueman.
