What began in 1999 as a distraction in the university’s practice rooms for the four young French musicians has become a trademark of the Quatuor Ebène and has generated lasting reverberations in the music scene. The four breathe new life into chamber music through their consistently direct, open-minded perspective on the works. Regardless of the genre, they approach the music with humility and respect. They change styles with gusto and yet remain themselves, with all the passion that they experience for each piece and which they bring to the stage and to their audiences directly and authentically. There is no single word that describes their style: they have created their own. Their traditional repertoire does not suffer from their engagement with other genres; rather, their free association with diverse styles brings a productive excitement to their music. From the beginning, the complexity of their oeuvre has been greeted enthusiastically by audiences and critics. On this evening, they will play several works by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Tickets are CHF 33-59 for adults, CHF 23-49 for students, and CHF 5 for people under age 20.
