Zaïde Quartet Plays Schubert, Bartók, Haydn at the Concertgebouw

About the Event

Relish the opportunity to hear this enormously successful young quartet play a work that laid the foundations of the quartet genre for centuries to come. Haydn's Opus 20 is the work that earned him the appellation 'Father of the String Quartet'. The form reached its greatest heights in the hands of the Romantics, as demonstrated by Schumann's Fifteenth Quartet, and its evolution continued as Bartók wrote his Third Quartet; through‐composed, rather than written in defined movements.
