Nico Muhly is a leading figure in contemporary classical music, known for his collaborative spirit and inventive cross-genre projects. His piece How Little You Are was commissioned for Conspirare and guitar quartets—LA Guitar Quartet, Dublin Guitar Quartet, and Texas Guitar Quartet—drawing texts from pioneer-era women. The world premiere took place in 2015, and the piece was later recorded on The Singing Guitar (Conspirare, 2020), which earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Choral Performance in 2021. Muhly's work extends from chamber and choral lines to opera and film, pairing intimate storytelling with expansive textures.
