One of the characteristics of the Prometeo Quartet is their constant research on putting together the classical repertoire and the new musical expressions of our time. Their close collaboration with the acclaimed composer Salvatore Sciarrino led the latter to dedicate two pieces to the Prometeo Quartet, his "Esercizi di tre stili" and the latest Quartetto n.8 commissioned by Società del Quartetto Milan, MaerzMusik Festival Berlin, Ultima Festival Oslo, Aldeburgh Festival, recently recorded for the label Kairos together with his latest works for string quartet.
Quartetto Prometeo continues to collaborate with Ivan Fedele, and in 2011 premiered Moroloja Kai Erotika for string quartet and voice commissioned by Accademia Filarmonica Romana and dedicated to the Prometeo.
