Six Saturdays at 16.00
The string quartet may be the most popular form of intimate chamber music – ever since Haydn’s day. Some of the world’s foremost quartets perform at Konserthuset every season. This time, we hear three French string quartets – Quatuor Ébene, Qutuor Zaïde and Quatuor Diotima – as well as Spanish Cuarteto Quiroga, Swedish Stenhammar Quartet and Belgian Sonoro Quartet.

They have toured the entirety of Europe and recorded multiple acclaimed albums, praised by critics in Swedish and international press alike. The quartet has visited Konserthuset Stockholm several times before, and now in this long-awaited return, they come with a melodically beautiful and exciting programme.
Anton Webern took twelve-tone music to its outer limits, but his early music is romantic, with elements of Johannes Brahms, which we hear in the refined Slow Movement. “It is my most beautiful quartet,” said Joseph Haydn, of his very last string quartet. This particular quartet inspired American violinist, vocalist and composer Caroline Shaw (born 1982) to compose Entr’acte.
The concert begins with Swedish Britta Byström’s Archi, which means strings, and concludes with Tchaikovsky’s first string quartet, which was immediately a huge success. In the second movement, we hear one of his most beloved melodies.

During the 2023/24 season, the quartet is part of Rising Stars, nominated by Bozar in Brussels.
Their repertoire is broad, with classical masterpieces as well as new compositions, and this is reflected in the programme: two key pieces from the repertoire – the quartets by Beethoven and Bartók are milestones in the art of quartet – intermingle with two new compositions.
Belgian composer Annelies van Parys’ oeuvre includes orchestral and chamber music, but above all: vocal works and music for theatre. British-Sri Lankan Vinthya Perinpanathan is trained in Western music, but has started to explore her South Asian heritage in music that crosses genres. She is a composer, violinist and DJ.
Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 24 of Europe’s leading concert halls, all members of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). A handful of young musicians and ensembles from various countries are selected each year and given the opportunity to tour the concert halls and perform before international audiences. Experience shows that those who are selected as Rising Stars also have internationally successful careers.

But now the music world has finally had its ears opened to Clara Schumann, Robert’s wife, who was one of the nineteenth century’s most admired pianists and brilliant composers. Similarly, music by Felix Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny has finally been granted more space on the repertoires of many ensembles and orchestras.
At this concert, which presents the music of family members side by side, it is clear that Clara and Fanny both genuinely deserve the newfound interest in their music. Clara Schumann’s Variations on a theme by Robert Schumann presents tastes of elegance and passion. The same can be said of Robert’s String Quartet No. 2, which is otherwise dedicated to his friend Felix and was performed for Clara at her 23rd birthday.
In her String Quartet, Fanny Mendelssohn has left the small scale behind, embracing an expansive musical adventure instead. A wild hunt, unrestrained joy and lyrical melodies are reflected in Felix’s emotional and furious Capriccio.

Now, just a few weeks after the Composer Weekend featuring Swedish Lisa Streich, we hear Streich’s string quartet, the world premiere of which Quatuor Diotima just gave in Strasbourg. Lisa Streich has described Sternenstill (“Star Clear”) as choreography for the musicians’ arms.
We move from choregraphed to nearly operatic. In addition to its external sophistication, the lyrical suite from 1926 proved later to contain many personal secrets – an entire story, in fact. In the notes A-B-H-F, Alban Berg expresses his love for Hanna Fuchs-Robettin. She was married, as was he, and in this music they are united through their initials.
First, Quatuor Diotima presents the early Quartet in D-Major by Schubert. It was composed in 1813; he was 16 years old and studying with Antonio Salieri. The music is dedicated to his father on his “name day” and its first performance was likely at home, with his father and older brothers, and Schubert himself on viola.
