Concert Croissant #5
This young French quartet, chosen as ECHO Rising Stars, takes you on a journey through three different eras. The humorous quartet La plaisanterie by Joseph Haydn, amazes with its glissandi and its multiple endings, enough to turn classicists' heads. Next, the Agate Quartet performs the Belgian premiere of a brand new work by Ukrainian composer Anna Korsun. Acoustic and electronic instruments shine alongside voice and sound objects. Like Haydn, Austrian Wolfgang Erich Korngold is a representative of musical post-romanticism. His Third String Quartet marks the composer's return to more ‘serious’ music, after his successes in Hollywood.
Rising Stars is a project of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). The Agate Quartet has been nominated by the Konzerthaus Dortmund, the Kölner Philharmonie and the Philharmonie de Paris.
