First ever recipients of both the First and Audience Prizes at the 13th Premio Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition and recently selected as YCAT Artists, the Fibonacci Quartet is one of Europe’s leading young string quartets.


In this programme the Fibonacci Quartet presents three of the most significant string quartet works ever composed. Mozart’s chromatically inventive and quietly revolutionary E flat major Quartet precedes Béla Bartók’s reinvention of what a string quartet can be: a piece that stretches the ensemble to its limits in every way and, in the final movement, almost anticipates heavy metal.

In the second half the Quartet explores perhaps the most famous string quartet in existence, Schubert’s String Quartet in D minor Death and the Maiden. This piece is astonishingly personal: Schubert wrote it after he realised he was dying and at the heart of the piece is a quotation from one of his own songs that he wrote as a teenager.

This performance will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.


This is a Kirckman Concerts presentation.
