Concerts featuring Quatuor Diotima in season 2024/25 or later
In honor of Kaija Saariaho, the leading Finnish composer of the 20th and 21st centuries who died in June 2023, Quatuor Diotima has chosen her Second String Quartet Terra Memoria as the centerpiece of its program. Written in 2006, the work is dedicated “to those departed” and their memory. The four musicians also perform music by Benjamin Britten and Arnold Schoenberg.
Performed by one of its outstanding interpreters, Boulez’s uncompromising Livre pour quatuor is at the heart of a centenary tribute to the composer referencing Webern, Bach, and impassioned Debussy.
A one-day festival featuring three concerts, a gift to the citizens of Cologne. Renaissance music meets 20th-century compositions. Parisian elegance of Ravel, Debussy, and Gershwin blends with Broadway rhythms. World-class soloists like Jean-Guihen Queyras, Kirill Gerstein, and Quatuor Diotima, led by Oskar Jockel, deliver brilliance.
