Carrie Frey
Carrie Frey is a Brooklyn-based violist, improviser, and composer who “conjures an inviting warmth that leaves her virtuosity on the margins, placing the focus on her humanity (Bandcamp Daily).” Frey is the violist of the Rhythm Method (“a group of individuals with distinct compositional voices and a collective vision for the future of the string quartet” - I Care If You Listen) and a founding member of string trio Chartreuse and string quartet Desdemona. She has performed with many of New York City’s notable contemporary ensembles, including Wet Ink Large Ensemble, AMOC*, Talea Ensemble, Wavefield, Cantata Profana, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. Her own compositions, described as “an agonizingly beautiful meditation on the Romantic style” (I Care if You Listen), have been performed by the Rhythm Method, RE:duo, Arco Belo, Adrianne Munden-Dixon, and Kal Sugatski. Following on her debut sonata album, The Grey Light of Day, with pianist Robert Fleitz (2016), and her first solo album, Seagrass (Gold Bolus, 2023), Frey’s first portrait album, Seaglass (Gold Bolus, 2025), features The Rhythm Method in performances of her four string quartets to date.
