BEETHOVEN String Quartet Op.18 No.1 (28’)
BARTÓK String Quartet No.5 (30’)
SCHUMANN String Quartet No.3 in A (26’)
Music in the Round are delighted to welcome the Fibonacci Quartet who will play three contrasting pieces from the string quartet repertoire for their Sheffield debut. With a glittering array of prizes and accolades, this young group has rapidly made a name as one of the most exciting European quartets working today.
Beethoven’s First Quartet is an expansive work – by turns lyrical, dramatic and wryly comic – while Bartók’s Quartet No.5 dazzles with the composer’s signature folk-inflected energy and rhythm. Schumann’s Quartet No.3 brings the concert to a sumptuously romantic close.
