Arditti Quartet

In a programme matched only by the technical brilliance and passion of the Arditti Quartet for whom all three works were written, Iannis Xenakis’ breathtaking Tetras, one of the defining works of the modern string quartet repertoire, tops a concert featuring Harrison Birtwistle’s latest quartet and the magically accumulative energy of Jonathan Harvey’s second.

Jonathan Harvey: Quartet No. 2
Harrison Birtwistle: Quartet No. 3 The Silk House Sequences
Iannis Xenakis: Tetras
