Four musicians pose with string instruments in front of a dark background. They wear black evening dress and hold a cello, two violins and a viola in their hands. They stand close together and look at the camera with a relaxed expression on their faces.

Info

The start of an exciting project: the Quatuor Ébène, celebrated for its energetic and precise interpretations, will perform all 16 string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven over two seasons. The very first concert of the cycle already reveals the emotional range the composer achieved in his quartet oeuvre. On one hand, there is the graceful, dance-like G major quartet from Beethoven’s early Opus 18; on the other, two late quartets: the dark and anguished Opus 131 and Opus 135, which shifts between humour and melancholy and was Beethoven’s last completed work.
