Own sound with great emotional commitment

The members of the Barbican Quartet seek surprising combinations of works that are close to their hearts and that they are curious about. The quartet, founded in 2014, has a distinctive style with its own sound and great emotional commitment. For Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, the players have a soft spot. The pairing of his music with Rebecca Clarke’s Poem and Ravel’s brilliant String Quartet marks the Barbican’s original programming. Clarke and Ravel knew each other well.

In the Selected by series, contrasts and connections resound; the musical language of different composers scrapes past each other or fits together wonderfully. In one hour, you will hear the string quartet repertoire across the board: all times, styles, sounds and colors.
