The Portfolio Project The Ciompi Quartet Portfolio Project began in the summer of 2020 as a way for the Quartet to engage with composers in Duke Music's graduate program during the COVID-19 pandemic when live performances were curtailed, and composers and performers needed creative outlets for their music. The success of the initial project inspired the Ciompi Quartet to continue the project, now entering its fifth year.
