Quatuor Ébène: Palais des Beaux‐Arts
About the Event
Revel in a feast of music which strays from the beaten path. The acclaimed quartet play selected works by Beethoven.
On the occasion of Beethoven year, the Quatuor Ébène has decided to meet quite a challenge: to perform the composer’s complete string quartets in 18 countries throughout the world. More than a tour, the Beethoven Around the World project is about transcending geographic and cultural borders. It aims to share Beethoven’s music with a wide range of audiences, in a spirit of humanism in keeping with the composer’s beliefs. The idea of the musical journey came about in 2014, after a concert given at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and will include a live recording of the complete works and a documentary. The most well‐known of French quartets is making a stopover at BOZAR, where it will perform one of the German master’s first, and one of his last quartets.
