Overview
Formed by four outstanding soloists in 2002, the Arcanto Quartet has garnered critical acclaim and audience ovations ever since its debut concert.
The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall programme unveils the psychological complexities, expressive transformations and emotional conflicts of three Romantic masterworks, each touched by formative events in the lives of their composers.
