The Miró Quartet releases ‘Hearth‘ on PENTATONE in November 2025.
The Miró Quartet invites you to gather around the warmth of the holiday Hearth—a deeply personal and joy-filled album that celebrates the spirit of the season through the voices of today’s most compelling composers. Whether your traditions include Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply quiet reflection by the fire, this album captures the essence of holidays as a time of connection, memory, and hope.
“It has been a dream of ours for many years to record a holiday album as the Miró Quartet. We all have a special holiday tune or melody that immediately makes us feel 5 years old again, or unfailingly fills us with spiritual inspiration…the music of the season has the power to evoke nostalgic memories and inspire us all to come together and celebrate around the warm fires of the Holiday Hearth.
“For this album we asked each of our composer friends to set any holiday tune that they wanted in any way they chose that would work for string quartet, and share a personal memory with us through the music. And what a delightful assortment of musical presents we received! The tunes range from medieval and renaissance melodies to ‘Jingle Bells’, and the styles range from Texas fiddle and West African rhythms to the most contemporary composing styles you might hear on the concert stage today.
“The Miró Quartet is so grateful to all our composer friends for these precious musical gifts, and we are so pleased to share the warmth of our Hearth and our Hearts with you through music during this holiday season.”
