Programme

Overview

Formed in 2008 and based in Zurich, the ensemble whose members come from four different countries has maintained a high reputation in the classical and modern repertoires and won particular praise for its CD of Schoenberg quartets. ‘The great virtue of this disc is in the way [first violin] Ilya Gringolts and his colleagues make Schoenberg’s sometimes taxing language seem so utterly natural,’ wrote Classical Ear. ‘They also have an acute sense of musical colour.’

This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
