About This Event

The esteemed Gringolts Quartet will grace the stage of The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on August 24th, presenting a programme designed to illuminate the profound connections between musical eras. Their recital offers a compelling juxtaposition, weaving together compositions celebrating the centenary of György Kurtág with Franz Schubert's final, deeply poignant string quartet. Renowned for their exceptionally integrated sound, the quartet excels at fostering a vibrant and engaging dialogue between these disparate works. This carefully curated programme invites audiences to explore the subtle threads that link contemporary musical thought with the legacy of the classical masters. The performance promises to be an intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant experience, showcasing the Gringolts Quartet's artistry in its full glory. Prepare for an evening where the past and present of chamber music converge in a truly captivating manner.

The programme features Franz Schubert's final quartet, String Quartet No. 15 in G, alongside three compositions by György Kurtág, celebrating his centenary. Kurtág's Officium breve in memoriam Andreae Szervánszky combines original music with arrangements of pieces by Endre Szervánszky and Anton Webern, while Hommage à Jacob Obrecht and Microludes showcase his delicate and emotionally intense style. The Gringolts Quartet will interweave these works to create a dialogue between different eras and musical styles.

The Gringolts Quartet is a renowned ensemble known for their "beautifully integrated sound" (The Herald). They will perform the entire programme, bringing their exceptional artistry to the stage of The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.
