Overview
Bartók’s synthesis of folk and art music went further and deeper than anything attempted before. His Fourth String Quartet encapsulates the composer’s experiments in form and content, texture and timbre.
The Dante Quartet frames Bartók’s work with the pathos and dark wit of Haydn’s Op. 33 No. 1 and Debussy’s iconoclastic String Quartet in G minor.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
