Description

Four times four of the world’s leading players: our »String Quartet« subscription is again bringing together four acclaimed formations from the premier league of the string quartet scene this season. Real treasures of the quartet repertoire are on the programme as well as insider tips from English music history and enthralling contemporary sounds. The superb Quatuor Ébène returns to the Elbphilharmonie, where it has long been an audience favourite, in a new line-up. The ensemble still has its former cellist, who is also a successful composer, and will perform a new work by him. With an exciting programme from Brahms to the 21st century, the Tetzlaff Quartett is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary and its first performance in this concert series. The Kuss Quartett presents classics from Beethoven’s repertoire, which they contrast with a witty piece by Bruno Mantovanii. And finally there is a particularly happy reunion with the award-winning Goldmund Quartet, whose members were hailed as »Rising Stars« at the Elbphilharmonie just a couple of years ago.
