Jerusalem Quartet

Thu, Sep 26, 2024, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Kleiner Saal (Berlin)

Jerusalem Quartet, Alexander Pavlovsky (Violin), Sergei Bresler (Violin), Ori Kam (Viola), Kyril Zlotnikov (Cello)

The Jerusalem Quartet, founded in 1996, dedicates the first concert in this season's “String Quartet International” series to Haydn's first “Prussian Quartet”, which the composer wrote for the cello-playing King Frederick William II of Prussia, and Mozart's “Dissonance Quartet”, whose unusual harmonies shocked contemporary audiences. After the intermission, the Jerusalem Quartet proves that there is more than just Dvořák's famous melodious “American” String Quartet No. 12: after his second return from the New World, the composer initially had a kind of composer's block and was unable to continue what he had begun. He overcame it working on String Quartet No. 13.

The four musicians present works by Alban Berg and Beethoven as part of the »Teatime Classics« series. 2022 was a memorable year for the Barbican Quartet: they won first prize and other special prizes at the ARD Music Competition, as well as a third prize at the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition. The ensemble had only just found a new second violinist, and thus a new sound and style of ensemble playing, in February 2022. The Barbican Quartet has appeared at many international festivals, and has been broadcast on the radio several times. In the 2022/23 season, they produced and released their first CD. An extensive tour will take them to different parts of Europe, to Canada and the USA.
